Separating Mixtures
What is a mixture? • When two or more materials or substances are mixed together but do not chemically combine. • This means they retain their original properties. • This means they can be separated by physical means.
What are the different ways of separating mixtures? • Magnetism • Hand separation • Filtration • Sifting or sieving • Extraction and evaporation • Chromatography
Magnetism • If one component of the mixture has magnetic properties, you could use a magnet to separate the mixture. Iron, nickel, and cobalt are all materials that are magnetic. • Not all metals are magnetic: gold, silver, and aluminum are examples of metals that are not magnetic.
Example of magnetism • Using a magnet to separate nails from wood chips.
Hand separation • Separating the parts of a mixture by hand. • Only useful when the particles are large enough to be seen clearly. • Useful for: separating parts of a salad.
Example of hand separation: • Using your fork to separate tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, onions, etc. in your salad.
Filtration • Used when separating a solid substance from a fluid (a liquid or a gas) by passing a mixture through a porous material such as a type of filter. • Works by letting the fluid pass through but not the solid. • Examples of filters: coffee filter, cloth, oil filter, even sand!
Example of filtration: • Using a coffee filter to separate the coffee flavor from the coffee beans.
Sifting or sieving • Used to separate a dry mixture which contains substances of different sizes by passing it through a sieve, a device containing tiny holes.
Example of sifting/sieving: • Using a sieve to separate sand from pebbles.
Extraction • Used to separate an insoluble solid (something that doesn’t dissolve in a liquid) from a soluble solid (something that DOES dissolve in a liquid). Done by adding a solvent (liquid that does the dissolving) to the mixture. Then pouring the liquid through a filter.
Example of extraction • With a mixture of sugar and sand, pouring water in the mixture which causes the sugar to dissolve. Then pouring the solution through a filter, causing the sand to separate from the sugar water.
Evaporation • Allowing the liquid to evaporate, leaving the soluble solid behind. • Example: heating sugar water. The water evaporates and the sugar crystals are left behind.
Example of using extraction and evaporation together: • Using water to dissolve sugar, then letting the water evaporate, leaving the sugar behind.
Chromatography Stationary Phase • Used to separate dissolved substances in a solution from each other. Separation Mobile Phase Mixture Components
Example of chromatography: • Using chromatography paper to separate ink into it’s original components.
Your task • You will separate a given mixture using methods from your chart. • You must write a detailed, numbered, step-by-step procedure of how you will separate your mixture before you will be allowed to do the lab. • As you come up with your procedure, look at the list of materials you will be given.
