Separation methods:
• The chalk (the residue) will remain in the filter paper and the
water (the filtrate) will fall down in the flask
FILTRATION
2.CENTRIFUGING
Purification of antibiotics.
5. SIMPLE DISTILLATION
• Used to obtain a pure liquid (Solvent) from a solution of a solid (Solute).
Use of distillation
• To obtain pure water from the sea water. (Process also known as
Desalination)
SIMPLE DISTILLATION
• Experimental Procedure
• The first few drops of liquid are discarded to make sure that any possible
impure liquid that may have a boiling point slightly lower than that of the
required liquid is not collected.
• The running tap must not be turned off before the flame is extinguished to
avoid breakage of the condenser if overheated.
• The pure liquid that has the lowest boiling point will distill
off first. This is because the glass beads in the fractionating
column condense the liquids with higher boiling points
back into the flask, allowing the pure liquid with the
lowest boiling point to vaporize and distil off as the first
distillate.
7. Chromatography
• It is a method used to separate a mixture of more than two solutes,
especially coloured compounds. It is also used to identify components of
mixtures
Procedure
Identify a substance.
Determine the purity of a substance.
Separate two or more substances with different solubility
in the same solvent.
Used in Forensic science and DNA tests.
• Used to identify the food colours
