Separating Mixtures
Mixtures can be split and sorted into their two or more elements/compounds as they are no chemical bonds combining them together. They are only physically combined.
- Solvent - the liquid in which a solute dissolves
- Solute - the substance that dissolves in a liquid to form a solution
- Solution - the mixture formed when a solute has dissolved in a solvent
- Soluble - will dissolve
- Insoluble - will not dissolve
Mixtures can be separated by filtration, crystallisation, simple distillation, fractional distillation and chromatography.
