Diversity of
Matter Using
Separation
Techniques
❖ Describe methods of separation
and purification for the
components of mixtures.
❖ Identify an appropriate
Learning separation technique to
separate a mixture based on
Objectives the physical properties
(solubility, density, melting and
boiling points, thermal stability,
magnetic property and particle
size) of the components making
up the mixture.
How would you obtain salt from the
mixture of salt and sand?
Step 1:
Add water
to mixture
Step 2:
Filter the
mixture
Salt solution
Mixture of salt __________________ is
solution and sand
obtained as the filtrate
How would you obtain salt from the
mixture of salt and sand?
Step 3:
Heat the
mixture
What physical
property does the
Salt solution separation depend on?
Solubility:
Solid is soluble in the
liquid (forming a solution)
Physical
properties of the
components
in a mixture
What else?
Evaporation to dryness
Solution is heated until all the solvent has evaporated.
Water in the
solution is lost to
the atmosphere.
Salt remains as a
white solid in the
evaporating dish.
Not all soluble substances
can be obtained by
evaporation till dryness.
Decomposed
sugar!
Solubility:
Solid is soluble in the
liquid (forming a solution)
Physical
properties of the
components
in a mixture Thermal stability:
The solid obtained must
be thermally stable (does
not decompose on
heating)
Are there other disadvantages of evaporation to
dryness?
Seawater
Copper(II) sulfate
solution
What are crystals?
How does crystallisation work?
How does crystallisation work?
• Heating is stopped
when a saturated
solution is formed.
Crystallisation
Step 2 a solution that contains as much dissolved
solute as it can at a given temperature
filter paper
pure copper(II)
sulfate crystals
Crystallisation
Which do you think is the
most important step in
crystallisation?
•Production of silicon
wafers for microchips
used in electronic
equipment and solar
cells (the silicon has to
be very pure!)
•Production of sucrose
from sugar beets and
sugar cane
Compare the two separation techniques:
1. Evaporation to dryness
2. Crystallisation
Similarities
Both are methods to obtain a solute from a solution
