GROUP 3 Flashcards
This is the process used when two liquids don’t mix, like oil and water. The less dense liquid (oil) floats on top and can be poured off, leaving the denser liquid (water) behind
Decantation
Involves spinning the solution at high speeds in a centrifuge, which generates a strong centrifugal force. This force causes denser particles to move outward to the bottom of the tube, forming a pellet, while less dense particles remain in the liquid above, known as the supernatant
Centrifugation
Used to separate solid particles from a fluid (liquid or gas) by passing the mixture through a filter medium that allows only the fluid to pass through while retaining the solid particles
Filtration
Used to separate solid particles from a fluid (liquid or gas) by passing the mixture through a filter medium that allows only the fluid to pass through while retaining the solid particles
Filtration
Used to separate components of a mixture based on their different boiling points. The mixture is heated until one component boils and turns into vapor. This vapor is then cooled and condensed back into a liquid, which is collected separately.
Distillation
is a process in which a solute separates from a supersaturated solution. Also, it refers to the process of forming a solid from a solution. This occurs when two solutions are mixed, and an insoluble product, or precipitate, is formed
Precipitation
facilitate chemical reactions, to separate and purify components of a mixture, or to dry a solid substance. Different techniques such as refluxing and distillation involve heating of organic substances
Heating of organic substances
process that involves using a solvent to dissolve and separate a specific substance from a mixture. This method allows the desired compound to be isolated and purified for further use
Extraction
when a liquid turns into vapor or gas as its molecules gain enough energy to escape into the air. This happens slowly at any temperature below the boiling point.
Evaporation
