There's many ways to do this sort of thing....but two you should always remember because they work so well with almost everything.
1. Evaporation.
No two things have exactly the same boiling point. Say you've mixed ink (with an imaginary boiling point of 140c) and water (100c b.p) and you now want to separate them.
Just heat the solution to 110 and boil off the water, collect it and you're done. Although this way you are likely to get a bit of ink leftover....you could just do it again. And you may destroy the ink due to the heat. So using a rotary evaporator is encouraged. They're great.
2. Chromatography.
There's many different types but all essentially involve solvating your mixture (now, the mobile phase) and passing it through a stationary phase. The different ways the chemicals interact with each phase dictates how strongly they will stick to either and therefore allow them to separate out.
It's worth mentioning that you'll likely still need to do some evaporation to rid of the solvent afterward...but don't let that put you off. Chromatography is more sensitive and precise, you don't need to know boiling points or risk destroying anything, you can separate a tonne of different things at once...it's all good.
What else can I help you with?
Can salt water be separated by distillation?
Yes, salt water can be separated by distillation. When salt water is heated, the water evaporates and leaves the salt behind. The water vapor is then collected and condensed back into liquid form, resulting in fresh water.
How could a sample of pure water be obtained from the lemon drink?
The lemon drink can be separated into water and lemon juice by a process called distillation. Distillation involves heating the lemon drink to vaporize the water, which is then collected and condensed back into liquid form as pure water.
Pure substances can be separated by physical means. true or false?
False. Pure substances cannot be separated by physical means. They are chemically uniform and do not contain any impurities that can be separated through physical methods like filtration or distillation.
What two industrial uses of distillation and what components of mixtures are separated in each use?
Fractional distillation is used in the petroleum industry to separate crude oil into different fractions such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel based on their boiling points. Simple distillation is used in the beverage industry to separate ethanol from water in the production of alcoholic beverages like spirits, where ethanol has a lower boiling point compared to water.
What temperature you need to separate pure water from impure water?
Pure water can be separated from impure water through a process known as distillation. The temperature needed for this separation is 100 degrees Celsius, which is the boiling point of water. Impurities will remain behind while the pure water vaporizes and can be collected and condensed back into liquid form.
What test do you apply to sea water to become pure water?
simple distillation
Can salt be separated by distillation?
Yes. Distillation serves to separate pure water from saltwater. However, what remains is not salt, but highly-salinated water called "slurry".
What is the full name of the separation technique to obtain pure water from sea water?
simple distillation
Can salt water be separated by distillation?
Yes, salt water can be separated by distillation. When salt water is heated, the water evaporates and leaves the salt behind. The water vapor is then collected and condensed back into liquid form, resulting in fresh water.
How you can obtain the pure water by which procees distillation or fractional distillation?
Distillation is used frequently.
How do you separate pure water from sewage water?
by distillation
How could a sample of pure water be obtained from the lemon drink?
The lemon drink can be separated into water and lemon juice by a process called distillation. Distillation involves heating the lemon drink to vaporize the water, which is then collected and condensed back into liquid form as pure water.
How would you separate an alcohol-water solution into pure alcohol and pure water?
distillation
Distillation produces water thats?
chemically pure.
How can a mixture of methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol be separated?
By distillation, though 100% pure is not attainable.
How do you make pure water from salty water?
through distillation or filtering
What are the advantages and disadvantages of distillation?
The advantages and disadvantages of distillation are quite vast. On advantage of distillation is that the water is pure and will not conduct electricity.
