yes

∙ 14y agobecause it is a heterogeneous mixture.
because it is a mixture, they have not chemically bonded. put it into a centrifuge. If it was a compound you would not be able to separate it so easily.

∙ 11y agoMixtures can be separated because they were never chemically combined. The molecules were never bonded which makes it easier to go backwards a separate them.

Which would you use to separate a substance from a mixture its chemical or physical properties?
A mixture is a combination of two or more subtances.Subtances in a mixture can be separated.This means that they are chemically combined.I would prefer physical change cause mixtures are made by physically combining two or more subtances.The solids,liquids,or gases in a mixture are not chemically combined.They can be easily seperated.
What physical separation would allow to separate a mixture of muddy water?
It is possible to filter mud out of water.
How do the separation techniques for a solution and a mixture differ?
To separate the properties of a solution you have to heat it up to distill the liquid, leaving behind the other substance. However , to separate a mixture you have to use a sieve or filtration paper or other physical methods.
How can a mixture be separated in a chemical change?
A mixture cannot be separated with chemical change because a mixture is two or more substances which will retain their physical properties when combined. Mixtures are separated by physical means like filters, sifting, chromatography, centrifuge, electrophoresis and magnetic attraction depending on what the mixture is composed of.
Describe how to use physical properties to separate a mixture of ice cubes and nails?
you can use a heater and don't use my answer because it is absolutly wrong (says elizabeth pham)
Why is possible to use physical properties to separate a mixture?
yes
Why is it possible to use a physical properties to separate a mixture?
yes
What allows you to separate the particles in a mixture?
Their physical properties
What techniques can be used to separate mixture?
The physical properties of substances can be used a a technique! :)
Why can you separate the components of mixture?
They have different molecular weights and chemical/physical properties.
What is the separation of mixtures based on?
The physical properties of the things in the mixture. It could be that one part of the mixture is soluble, the other part insoluble - both physical properties. It could be that you use the boiling point of 2 liquids to separate them - physical properties. You could use a magnet if one part is magnetic and the other isn't - physical properties. And so on. But you are relying on physical properties rather than chemical properties.

What is the explanation of separating mixtures?
The separation is possible because components of a mixture have different physical properties.
What are some ways that industries use physical properties to separate substances?
The method of evaporation to separate substances in a mixture is purely physical because no chemical reaction occurs.
What do you depend on to separate a mixture?
You depend on the physical state of the constituents to separate a mixture
Is separate is a physical or chemical change?
when you separate a substance from a mixture, it's a physical change... Technically, you can get it back in the mixture.
What physical separation would allow to separate a mixture of muddy water?
It is possible to filter mud out of water.
