Simple distillation is used to separate a liquid from a solution - the liquid boils off and condenses by cooling. The thermometer will read the boiling point of the liquid.
Describe and explain Filtration
Filtration is used to separate an insolublesolid from a liquid.
Describe and Explain crystallisation
Crystallisation is used to separate a solublesolid from a liquid.Heat the solution to evaporate the water and let it cool down - the solid begins to crystalise
Describe and Explain fractional distillation
Fractional distillation is separating a mixture of differentliquids with differentboilingpoints. The apparatus is similar to the one of simple distillation however an additional fractionatingcolumn is placed on top of the flask. The fractionating column contains beads which is used to separate the compounds.
Describe and explain chromatography
Chromatography is used to separate a mixture of solublesubstances in a solution. In paper chromatography, we place a piece of paper with a spot containing a mixture into the beaker with the solvent - the bottom of the paper has to be in contact with the solvent. The solvent will slowly start to rise, separating the mixture.
