Homeogeneous mixtures, Heterogeneous mixtures, and separation techniques... (Get out your notes...) 1 Heterogeneous Mixture - Not uniform (a sample from the top will be different from a sample from the bottom.) 2 Homogeneous Mixture - Uniform (a sample from the top will be the same as a sample from the bottom. 3 Solutions: A special type of homogeneous mixture... One substance is dissolved in another in a liquid phase. 4 5 Methods for separating a mixture 6 Filtration: separating by particle size leaving solids behind. 7 - Decanting: Pouring off a liquid to keep a solid behind 8 Distillation: separation by boiling points 9 Manual Separation: Picking the stuff out. 10 - 11 Magnetic separation: 12 Your Task: Design a procedure to separate out a mixture of substances... Assume that you will need to use all of the processes you have seen... 13
