Separation Techniques Flashcards
Mixture
Molecules in a mix with no chemical bonds
Properties of a mixture
A mixture of the properties of the separate parts
Chromotography
A separation technique to separate dyes in an ink
Filtration
Separates insoluble solids from liquids
Evaporation
Used to separate a soluble salt from a solution by evaporating out the liquid, leaving the solid
Crystallisation
Used to separate a soluble solid and liquid which decomposes and forms crystals, so the solvent can be evaporated out
Distillation
Used to separate mixtures of liquids,using a heated glass flask and a condenser
Fractional distillation
Distillation, where the flask is heated to different temperatures, to collect different fractions of the mixture ( which have different boiling points)
