Centrifugation
Separation of a suspension by density using a piece of equipment that spins tubes in a circle, providing a downward centripetal force
Chromatography
Method that separated different solutes by their attraction to a liquid or solid
Colloid
Mixture in which relatively large solid or liquid particles are dispersed uniformly throughout a gas, liquid, or solid
Filtration
Process of separating undissolved substances from a solution
Gravimetric Analysis
Quantitative chemical analysis method involving the separation of an analyte from a sample by a physical or chemical process and subsequent mass measurements of the analyte, reaction product, and/or sample
Heterogeneous Mixture
Combination of substances with a composition that varies from point to point
Homogenous mixture
Combination of substances with a composition that is uniform throughout
Molarity
Unit of concentration, defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 liter of solution
Percent by Mass
Ratio of Solute-to-Solution mass expressed as a percentage
Solution
Combination of substances with a composition that is uniform throughout
Spectroscopy
Process of detecting and measuring the amounts of light absorbed or emitted from different wavelengths
