Topic: Separating Mixtures Do Now:
Separating Mixtures Physically combined Separation based on physical properties 1. Sorting: size & appearance
2. Filtration: Large solid can be filtered from liquid Can you filter a solution? Like sugar water? NOTE: Sand and water is SiO 2 + H 2 O or SiO 2 (aq)
3. Magnet: Iron is magnetic
4. Chromatography: liquids mixed together, the lighter will “Travel” higher up the paper with the water
5. Distillation: Different liquids have different bp’s – one will boiling off and the other gets left behind (impurities often get left behind too
6. Crystallization: separate based on solubility of a solid in liquid
