Methods of Separating Mixtures

This page outlines five primary methods for separating mixtures in chemistry and provides detailed explanations of filtration, crystallization, and distillation.

Highlight: The five main methods of separating mixtures are:

  1. Chromatography
  2. Distillation
  3. Evaporation
  4. Filtration
  5. Crystallization

Definition: Filtration is the removal of solid particles from a liquid using a filter medium that allows the fluid to pass through but retains the solid particles.

Example: Crystallization is used to produce solid crystals from a solution. When the solution is warmed, some of the solvent evaporates, causing the volume to decrease and leaving solid crystals behind.

Vocabulary: Distillation is the process of boiling and condensing a mixture of liquids in a closed system, allowing the products to escape. This can separate products because the one with the lower boiling point will escape first and collect at the end of the escape tube.

Definition: An element is a substance made from only one type of atom, while a compound is a substance made from two or more types of atoms bonded together.

Mixtures and Filtration

This page delves deeper into the concept of mixtures and the filtration process for separating insoluble solids from liquids.

Definition: Mixtures are groups of atoms, elements, and compounds that are mixed but not bonded. They can be separated from each other without a chemical reaction.

Example: Just like different colored sweets can be picked out from a mixed packet and put into separate piles, components of a mixture can be separated.

Highlight: Filtration is used for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. For example, sand can be separated from a mixture of sand and water using filtration because sand does not dissolve in water.

Example: In the filtration process, a filter funnel is used with filter paper. The mixture is poured through the filter, where the solid residueresidue is trapped on the filter paper, and the liquid filtratefiltrate passes through.

Crystallization Process

This page focuses on the crystallization method, its applications, and the process of separating soluble solids from solutions.

Highlight: Crystallization is used in the purification of substances and is a method to separate soluble solids from solutions.

Example: When a solid substance is placed in a liquid, it often dissolves. To separate the soluble solid, the solvent is evaporated off.

Vocabulary: The process of crystallisation involves evaporating the solvent from a solution, leaving behind solid crystals of the dissolved substance.

Example: In daily life, crystallization can be observed in the formation of rock candy or in the production of salt from seawater.

Highlight: Crystallization is an important technique in chemistry for purifying substances and obtaining pure, solid samples from solutions.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
