50
Q

What is the process of filtration?

51
Q

Distillation

A

Used to separate substances with different boiling temperatures.

52
Q

True or False. In distillation, a substance that has a very low boiling temperature is the last to pass in the process.

A

False.

53
Q

Explain the process of distillation.

A

The mixture is heated until it reaches its boiling temperature, the substance is transferred to a condenser and it will be the one separated. The other is left behind in the distillate.

54
Q

Used to separate a soluble solid into a liquid.

A

Evaporation

55
Q

A process involving impure solids dissolved in a heated solvent and cooled down at room temperature until crystals formed

A

Crystallization

56
Q

A

Centrifuge

57
Q

What happens when a mixture is placed on the centrifuge?

A

The denser component of a mixture will sink at the bottom due to the centripetal force they experienced during the process.

58
Q

What is the difference between sedimentation and decantation?

A

Sedimentation is where solid particles settle out of a liquid duet to force of gravity. Decantation is similar but with insoluble liquids and is a slow and tedious process.

59
Q

Magnetic separation

60
Q
