(9 cards)
Separation or resolution
techniques
make use of
the differences in physical
properties and sometimes
chemical properties
Simple distillation
Sperating things by heating and cooling
Fractional distillation
helps us separate a mixture into its different parts by using their boiling points
Evaporation
Removing water from the mixture
Filtration
filtration helps you separate things by letting some things pass through while keeping others behind
Decantation
when you pour a liquid gently to separate it from the solid stuff settled at the bottom
Liquid-Liquid Extraction
For liquids
Centrifugation
heavier stuff gets pushed to the bottom, and the lighter stuff stays on top
Sieving
has tiny holes, like a strainer, and only the small beads fall through the holes, while the big beads stay on top.
