Mixtures

• What are mixtures composed of?

  Many components not chemically combined
• What are the different separation methods for mixtures?

  • Distillation
  • Crystallisation
  • Chromatography
  • Filtration
• What does distillation separate?

  Liquids
• How does filtration work in separating mixtures?

  It separates based on particle size
• What is chromatography used for?

  To separate components in a mixture
• What is an example of a mixture that can be separated by crystallisation?

  Salt and water
• What happens during crystallisation?

  Water evaporates, leaving solid crystals
• How do oil and water separate in a mixture?

  By their different densities

  To separate two different liquids
• What is the main principle behind distillation?

  Separation based on boiling points
• What is an example of a mixture that can be separated by distillation?

  Oil and water
• What is the result of the crystallisation process?

  Solid crystals are formed from a solution
• How does chromatography differ from distillation?

  Chromatography separates based on solubility
