Many methods exist: distillation, sieving, sublimation, filtering, centrifugation, electromagnetic, zone melting etc.
Some mixtures can be separated by physical changes. For example distilling alcohol can be done by heating the mixture to between the boiling points of water and alcohol, so the alcohol boils off, leaving the water. The alcohol is then condensed into another container.
Mixtures can be easily separated because the substances in mixtures retain their individual properties and can be physically separated based on differences in physical properties. Compounds, on the other hand, are chemically bonded, making it difficult to separate them without breaking the bonds and altering the chemical composition.
Matter can undergo physical changes without changing its identity. Physical changes include melting or freezing; evaporating or condensing; changing shape; chopping or grinding into smaller pieces.
The mass number can vary without changing the identity of an element, as it represents the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Conversely, changing the number of protons would change the identity of the element, as it defines the element's atomic number.
1. All mixtures can be easily separated using an ordinary physical method 2. The constituents of mixtures are nt combined in a definite ratio 3. Constituents of mixtures retain their properties
A physical property. This refers to characteristics of a material that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical identity, such as color, density, or melting point.
A property of matter that can be identified without changing the identity of the substance is its density. Density is a characteristic property that remains constant regardless of the amount of substance present.
mass and volume
A physical property
there is no property that can be observed without somehow changing the identity of the object due to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
Mixtures are formed when two or more substances are combined physically, without any chemical reaction. They can be separated through methods like filtration, distillation, chromatography, and evaporation, based on the differences in their physical properties such as size, solubility, or boiling point.
A physical property, such as color, shape, density, or temperature, can be observed without changing the identity of matter. These properties describe the characteristics of a substance and can be measured or observed without altering the substance itself.
