SEPARATING METHODS

Question 1

Allowing the dense, insoluble solid particles from a liquid mixture to settle down first then slowly pour the liquid to another container. Uses a separatory funnel to separate 2 or more immiscible fluids

Answer 1

Decantation

Question 2

The process of separating the insoluble solid from the liquid substance by allowing the liquid to pass through a porous material

Answer 2

Filtration

Question 3

Liquid to be filtered

Answer 3

Suspension

Question 4

Liquid passed by the filter

Answer 4

Filtrate

Question 5

Solid material remaining on the filter

Answer 5

Residue

Question 6

Question 8

Paper/woven filters and cloth & wire mesh

Answer 8

Felted Sheet

Question 9

Substances formed when brick or clay is fired at a low temperature

Answer 9

Rigid, Porous Filters

Question 10

Employed for the separation of dispersed solid by dialysis.

Answer 10

Filters composed of Semi-Permeable Membranes

Question 11

Use of magnets to separate the metallic from the non metallic
components of a mixture

Answer 11

Magnetism

Question 12

Separates wanted elements from unwanted material

Answer 12

Sieving

Question 13

Is a process that involves the evaporation and condensation of volatile liquid. The differences in boiling points among the substances in a homogenous mixture are frequently used as a basis for separating the mixture into its components.

Answer 13

Distillation

Question 14

Used to separate the volatile oils from plant materials whether flower, leaves, bark, or roots

Answer 14

Steam Distillation

Question 15

Used to separate a liquid mixture with a small range of boiling points

Answer 15

Fractional Distillation

Question 16

The use of forceps eves, spoon, tweezers, and other similar tools. Applied in bigger
components of solid

Answer 16

Mechanical Separation

Question 17

Which Swiss surgeon invented the forceps?

Answer 17

Emil Theodor Korcher

Question 18

Process in which a substance is converted directly from a solid to a gas or from a gas to a solid without an intermediate liquid phase

Answer 18

Sublimation

Question 19

Used for obtaining a compound in pure solid form of well-defined geometrically shaped crystals

Answer 19

Crystallization
