A. Background Information for Learners
The lesson is about on how the compositions of different types of mixtures can be

separated to one another. It involves activities which can help you to master the
assigned competency.

N
Method of Separating Components of Mixtures

Method of separating components of mixtures is a procedure or process of


TA
segregating or moving the constituent or part of a substance which is made up of two
or more pure substances.

Different Separating Methods


BA

Filtration- It is the process of separating the insoluble solid from the liquid
substance by allowing the liquid to pass through a porous material called
filtering agent. The solid particles which are retained in the filter paper is
called residue, and the clear liquid which passes through a filtering agent
such as filter paper is called the filtrate.
O

Decantation- This is a method used to separate the liquid layer known as


supernatant and a heavy insoluble solid known as precipitate by allowing the
SD

said solid to settle at the bottom of the container then the liquid above the
solid is poured off carefully into another container.

Mechanical Separation - This involves the use of forceps, sieves, magnet


and other similar tools to separate the components of mixtures.

Centrifugation It is the process that uses a motor device known as centrifuge


that speeds up the settling of the precipitate using centrifugal or rotating
motion.

Magnetic Separation takes advantage of the physical property of


magnetism, to separate a magnetic solid from a heterogeneous mixture.
Example: Separating Metals in a Scrap Yard

Distillation This is a process that involves the evaporation and condensation


of a liquid solvent from a mixture or solution. This method uses the difference
in boiling points of the components of a mixture

Chromatography - This process uses the difference in the degrees to which


substances are absorbed on the surface of an inert substance such as a filter

AS
paper. A drop of ink or extract will be separated into different components if it
is placed at the end of a filter paper and the tip of the paper is allowed to
barely touch the solvent.

G
