explan how to seperate mixures
Answer (1)
netic properties. Common methods include sieving, magnetic separation, decantation, filtration, evaporation, distillation, chromatography, and sublimation. Here's a more detailed explanation of some key separation methods:1. Physical Separation:Sieving:Separates solids based on size using a mesh or screen. Magnetic Separation:Attracts magnetic materials (e.g., iron filings) from a mixture using a magnet. Decantation:Separates a liquid from a solid by gently pouring the liquid off, leaving the heavier solid behind. Filtration:Separates solids from liquids using a filter, allowing the liquid to pass through while trapping the solid. Evaporation:Separates a solvent from a solid that is dissolved in it by allowing the solvent to vaporize. 2. Separation Based on Boiling Point:Distillation:Separates liquids with different boiling points by evaporating one and then condensing it. Fractional Distillation:Separates liquids with similar boiling points by repeatedly distilling and condensing them. 3. Separation Based on Solubility: Crystallization: Separates a soluble solid from a solution by evaporating the solvent and forming crystals.4. Separation Based on Adsorption: Chromatography: Separates mixtures by their different interactions with a stationary phase (like paper or a column) as a mobile phase (like a solvent) moves through it.5. Separation Based on Density:Centrifugation:Separates particles of different densities in a liquid by spinning them at high speed, causing denser particles to settle to the bottom. Sedimentation:Similar to decantation, but it uses gravity to separate heavier particles from a liquid. 6. Separation Based on Sublimation: Sublimation: Separates solids that can directly convert from solid to gas (e.g., camphor) from solids that don't sublime.
