AIM: HOW TO SEPARATE

MIXTURES
DO NOW: EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COMPOUND AND A MIXTURE.
GIVE ONE EXAMPLE OF A COMPOUND AND ONE EXAMPLE OF A MIXTURE
HOMEWORK: ON A SEPARATE SHEET, PICK ONE SEPARATION METHOD, EXPLAIN
THE PROCESS, AND INCLUDE DRAWING.

 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
HOMOGENEOUS AND A HETEROGENEOUS
MIXTURE?
HOMOGENEOUS HETEROGENEOUS
 VOCAB

• MISCIBLE – CAPABLE OF BEING MIXED

• IMMISCIBLE – CANNOT BE MIXED
• SOLUBLE – ABLE TO BE DISSOLVED
• INSOLUBLE – UNABLE TO BE DISSOLVED
 WHAT IS A SOLUTION?
• ANOTHER WORD FOR HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE
• PARTS OF A SOLUTION
• SOLVENT
• SOLUTE

• SOLVENT DISSOLVES THE SOLUTE; SOLUTE IS WHAT IS BEING

DISSOLVED.
 WHAT IS AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION?

• AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION IS A SOLUTION IN WHICH WATER

IS THE SOLVENT ( A SUBSTANCE IS DISSOLVED IN WATER)
• CREATED BY DISSOLVING SUBSTANCE IN WATER
• (AQ) NEXT TO A SUBSTANCE MEANS DISSOLVED IN WATER
 METHODS TO SEPARATING MIXTURES

• ON THE FOLLOWING SLIDES, WE WILL INVESTIGATE

THREE METHODS TO SEPARATING MIXTURES
• FOR EACH METHOD YOU WILL TURN TO YOU
PARTNER, DISCUSS AND WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU SEE
AND EXPLAIN HOW YOU THINK THE SEPARATION
OCCURS
FILTRATION

• FILTRATION IS A SEPARATION
METHOD USED TO SEPARATE
OUT PURE SUBSTANCES IN
MIXTURES MADE UP OF
PARTICLES SOME OF WHICH
ARE TOO LARGE ENOUGH IN
SIZE TO PASS THROUGH THE
FILTER
 COMMON USE OF FILTERS

• AIR CONDITIONERS
HAVE FILTERS THAT
ALLOW THE AIR TO
PASS THROUGH WHILE
TRAPPING SOLIDS
SUCH AS LINT AND
DUST
 DISTILLATION
• DISTILLATION IS A PROCEDURE BY
WHICH A SOLID AND A LIQUID, OR
TWO LIQUIDS WITH DIFFERENT
BOILING POINTS CAN BE
SEPARATED.
• USES THE PROCESS OF
• WATER BOILS AT 100 C
O
EVAPORATION AND
• ETHANOL BOILS AT 74.4 OC CONDENSATION.
 COMMON USE OF
DISTILLATION

• GASOLINE IS
OBTAINED FROM
CRUDE OIL BY THE
PROCESS OF
DISTILLATION
CHROMATOGRAPHY

• THE COMPONENTS IN THE

MIXTURE HAVE
DIFFERENT ATTRACTIONS
WITH THE
CHROMATOGRAPHY
PAPER; THEREFORE, THE
DIFFERENT COMPONENTS
TRAVEL UP THE PAPER AT
 COMMON USES OF CHROMATOGRAPHY
• WELL, IN REAL LIFE, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY IS
OFTEN USED TO INVESTIGATE CRIMINAL CASES
LIKE THE ONES FEATURED ON THOSE SHOWS.
• THIS CAN TAKE THE FORM OF CRIME SCENE
TESTING (THE ANALYSIS OF BLOOD OR CLOTH
SAMPLES), ARSON VERIFICATION (IDENTIFYING
THE CHEMICALS RESPONSIBLE FOR A FIRE TO
SEE WHETHER THERE WAS FOUL PLAY) OR
BLOOD TESTING AFTER DEATH TO DETERMINE
LEVELS OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR POISONOUS
SUBSTANCES IN THE BODY
ON A SEPARATE SHEET OF PAPER TO BE COLLECTED, NAME
THE TECHNIQUES WHICH ARE SUITABLE FOR SEPARATING
THE FOLLOWING MIXTURE:

Situation Separation Technique

a. To obtain drinking water from muddy water
b. To separate gasoline from crude oil
c. To remove leaves from a swimming pool
d. To obtain pure sugar from a solution
e. To determine whether the coloring in a fruit
juice is a single substance or a mixture of
colored substance
