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.

Heterogeneous mixtures can be separated by physical means.?
Yes. Try using a separation flask.
What are the ways of separating mixtures like sifting?
Sieving is largely used in laboratories and industry for separation.
What mean Define decantation?
Decantation refers to a process involving the separation of mixtures, by way of eliminating a layer of liquid.
Is the distillation of petroleum an endothermic reaction?
Destillation is a pure physic method used for separation of mixtures of compounds. It is NOT a chemical 'ReAcTiOn'
What is distillilation?
A way of separating mixtures based on their different boiling points.
Is chemical a method used to separate mixtures?
Separation of mixtures is generally based on physical properties.
How is volatility important for the separation of components of a mixtures?
its not.
What types of mixtures can be used by gravity separation?
These mixtures must have large differences between densities.
Which separation we use to lose of homogenous and heterogeneous mixtures?
The method of separation is different for each system.
What is the process called when separating mixtures?
The process is called separation.
What type of properties can be used to separated mixtures?
Some of the types of properties that can be used to separate mixtures are:FiltrationDistillationChromatographyMagnetismFloatationExtractionCrystallizationMechanical Separation
What is an isotopic mixture?
explain the mechanism of diffusion in the separation of isotopic mixtures
What is the methods of separation of mixtures?
Mixtures can be separated by: Distillation, Chromatography, Evapouration, Filtration, Decantation, Crystalization, Magnatisim, Sorting By Hand, Sifting
Why is crystallization better than evaporation for the separation of mixtures?
This affirmation is not generally valid.
What is the hardest method in separating mixtures?
A "hard method of separation" is not an expression in chemistry.
What are physical mean that can separate mixtures?
Mixtures can be separated by sieving (separation by size) or by centrifuge (separation by density).Sieving basically means passing the mixture through a filter or screen. The particles that are bigger than the openings in the filter or screen are retained. Particles smaller than the openings pass through.Separating by centrifuge means putting a vessel containing the mixture into a device which spins at a high rate, increasing the force acting on the particles in the mixture to a force greater than that of gravity.Agitation, without centrifuging, can also cause separation in some mixtures. Agitation can cause separation based on both size and density. This is why the small bits of your cereal always end up at the bottom of the box.Hope that helps.
What is chromatoghy?
Chromatography is the collective term for a set of laboratory techniques for the separation of mixtures. There are many different types of chromatography, with different techniques for separating the mixtures.
