Learning Target: Students will review their understanding of mixtures and learn about six techniques that can be used to
separate the components in many common types of mixtures.
Separation Methods for Mixtures
Physical methods of separation can be used to isolate the components of a mixture.
Use the presentation to fill in the missing information about each method of separation.
Sieving
Used to separate ________________ of different ________________ by using filters with varying
pore sizes.
Filtration
Used to separate an insoluble s________________ from a ________________ mixture by
pouring the mixture through a filter (pore size may be varied).
Flotation
Used to separate 2 or more ________________ solids from one another based on their
respective ________________: if the respective densities of the solids are thought to be
significantly different, the mixture may be poured into a liquid to separate them based on
________________.
Evaporation
Used to separate the components of a ________________ (a solid that has been dissolved into a
liquid). The mixture is heated until the ________________ evaporates away, leaving the solid
component behind.
Chromatography
Used to separate components in a mixture by passing it in ________________ or suspension,
through a medium to cause the different components to move at different ________________.
Distillation
Used to separate 2 or more liquids with different ________________ points by heating the
mixture and collecting/condensing the ________________ produced as each liquid reaches its
boiling point.
