There are many ways, I'll probably miss some!
Crystallization: A mixture of solids is dissolved in a hot solvent, concentrated and allowed to cool. The solids slowly become insoluble and crystallize. Usually, a major component will crystallize in rather pure form, leaving others behind in solution.
Distillation to separate by boiling point.
Extraction: You can adjust the conditions to alter solubility of various components in water and organic solvent. For example acids are soluble in water when the pH is basic, and soluble in organic solvent when it is acidic.
Reactions: you can make other compounds (temporarily) of components in the mixture to separate them. This is most often done to separate inorganic materials by precipitating and extracting their oxides, sulfides, chlorides, nitrates,etc. or by dissolving them selectively in various acids.
Chromatography: Different things in a mixture will adhere to a wide variety of certain materials such a silica gel and paper. There are many chromatographic techniques including gas and liquid types of chromatography. As the mixture in solution is passed over a the material, interaction with it will slow down the rate of passage of each component. If two components are slowed to sufficiently different degrees, one will completely come off the material before the next begins, completely separating the two. This has become the most common way (or ways, because there are so many different ones) to separate components of mixtures.

What are the different methods of separating components?
are the components of a solution separable by chemical methods
What are the methods separating the components of suspension?
You would use a drainer to separate a suspension
Is a combustion a method of separating the components of a mixture?
yes because combustion is where you blow something up so when blowing something up it sepatates the components of a mixture.
What is used to determine which separating technique is to be used to separate a particular mixture?
- the physical nature of the components- the chemical nature of the components- the amount of the mixture- the availability of necessary devices and materials for separation- the price of componentsetc.
What methods can be used to separate components of a homogeneous mixture of solid and liquid?
A mixture can be separated into its individual components by mechanical means. ...Ahomogeneous mixture is uniform, which means that any given sample of the mixture will have the same ...Toothpaste is a colloid, because it's part solid and part liquid. ...We must use more sophisticated methods to separate the mixture.
What are the separating components of chromhatography?
a chromhatograpy is a sample of separating components of a mixture
What are the different methods of separating components?
are the components of a solution separable by chemical methods
When you completely separates a mixture what will you have when you if finished?
If your mixture is sand and salt, separating the two will give you sand and salt.Whatever the mixture is made of, separating the components will give you the components
What are the methods in separating the components of solution?
Current Edited Answer: Using the methods available to separate mixtures that are applicable to what solutions you want to separate. Example: Filtration, Evaporation, Distillation. Same as a mixture because a solution is a type of mixture.
What is the idea behind separating the components with in a mixture?
The purpose is to obtain pure compounds from a mixture.
What are the methods separating the components of suspension?
You would use a drainer to separate a suspension
What are the 4 methods of separating the parts of a mixture?
Four methods are: filtration, distillation, magnetic separation, precipitation.
Is a combustion a method of separating the components of a mixture?
yes because combustion is where you blow something up so when blowing something up it sepatates the components of a mixture.
Why is separating a solid mixture is often easier than separating components of a solution?
Generally speaking, separating solid mixture same as mechanical mixture is easier than separating solutions because the components of the mechanical mixtures are usually quite different from each other.
What is the process of separating a mixture into individual components called?
this process would be called diffusion
How do you separate any mixtures?
There are many methods of separating a mixture.Please specify what kind of mixture it is.
What is the explanation of separating mixtures?
The separation is possible because components of a mixture have different physical properties.
