Chapter 21- Separation techniques Flashcards
Separation techniques
Filtration, Chromatography, simple Distillation, crystallisation, fractional distillation, evaporation
Filtration
Separating a solid and liquid with use of a filter, fluid passes through and solid remains in filter
Crystallisation
Forming crystals from a saturated solution. Heating up a homogenous solution so that the liquid evaporates and crystals form.
Solvent, Solute solution
Solute + Solvent = Solution
eg
Salt + water = Salt water
Chromatography
Separates mixtures of dissolved substances. Usually separates dyes.
Higher solubility = Higher on the paper
Simple Distillation
Separates soluble liquids from solutions
Eg
Salt water heated to b.p. in a sealed round bottom flask. water becomes a gas and then condenses in a condenser. Pure water collected out of condenser
Fractional distillation
Separates liquids with different boiling points.
From lowest to highest b.p.
