Separating Mixtures

2. Sorting Separating mixtures with your hands.
Ex: separating pop corn kernels, black beans, & rice

3. 2. Using a Magnet
Using the magnetic property of a substance to separate a mixture
Made of iron
Ex: Iron Filings & pencil shavings

4. 3. Chromatography
-Separating a colored mixture by using a solvent to see what colors make it up.
Ex: Black marker

5. 4. Filtration Separating by size
Allowing liquids or smaller items to pass through a filter, leaving a larger substance on the other side.
Ex: sand & water; rocks & dirt

6. 5. Dissolving a Substance
Mixing substances in water to separate the one that dissolves.
Ex: Sand & Sugar

7. 6. Evaporation/Boiling/Simple Distillation
Separation by changing a liquid to a gas to leave behind a dissolved substance
Ex: lemonade

8. 7. Fractional Distillation
Separates liquids by using their different boiling points Ex: water (100ᴼC) and ethanol (78ᴼC)

9. Sand, Salt, Iron Filings Mixture
Procedures for separation: (be very detailed) 1. Take out the iron filings with a magnet.

10. 2. Pour the sand and salt in water so that the salt will dissolve. 3
2. Pour the sand and salt in water so that the salt will dissolve. 3. Use a filter to separate the salt water from the sand.

11. 4. Evaporate the water out of the salt water which will leave the salt behind.
