What is decanting
When you carefully pour out the liquid and leave the solid behind
What is filtration
When you pour the mixture into a filter funnel and then the liquid goes through the holes of the funnel when the solid cannot
Evaporation (separating mixtures)
When you evaporate the liquid
Crystallisation
When you evaporate some of the solvent and then letting the solute slowly crystallise
Distillation
When you evaporate and condense the solvent
Fractional distillation
When you separate 2 liquids that are mixed together by heating the mixture then condensing it in a condenser
Separating funnel
When you separate 2 liquids that are immiscible and place them into a separating funnel, when the most dense liquid is at the bottom
Chromatography
When you separate soluble substances by placing them on chromatography paper and then a solvent soaks up paper
