Boiling point is a physical property. Alcohol and water can be separated by distillation because they have different boiling points. Alcohol boils at a lower temperature water. In distillation, the vapor is collected and condensed back into a liquid. The condensed liquid will have a higher proportion of alcohol to water than the original mixture.
Fractional freezing is a process used in proses engineering and chemistry to separate substances with different melting points. It can be done by partial melting of a solid, for example in zone refining of silicon or metals, or by partial crystallization of a liquid, for example "freeze distillation", also called "normal freezing" or "progressive freezing".
Partial crystallization can also be achieved by adding a dilute solvent to the mixture, and cooling and concentrating the mixture by evaporating the solvent, a process called "solution crystallization".[1] Fractional freezing is generally used to produce ultra-pure solids, or to concentrate heat-sensitive liquids.

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 are some properties of deuterium?
Deuterium, also known as heavy hydrogen, exhibits three separate properties: Physical properties, quantum properties and nuclear properties (the deuteron).
Why is it important for scientists to know substances chemical properties?
Chefs need to know physical and chemical properties in the kitchen, so they will know what will happen to different substances when they are heated, cooled, etc. Also, they need to know so they are able to tell the difference between the properties. Physical properties can return to their natural state (water freezing to ice, then ice melting back to water). However, chemical properties cannot be changed back once they are changed (a raw egg is changed when cooked, but you cannot un-cook an egg)
What are 2 physical properties of ethyl alcohol and water to separate them?
Separation is possible by distillation because boiling points are different.
What property does separation by density rely on to separate out parts of a solution?
Substances with different densities will separate into layers.
What techniques can be used to separate mixture?
The physical properties of substances can be used a a technique! :)
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.
A collection of matter made of substances that stay separate and keep their properties is a?
A physical change, and a chemical change.
I Need to separate two substances in a compound how would you seaparared?
There are several methods to separate substances in a compound, depending on their properties. Some common methods include distillation (for separating liquids with different boiling points), filtration (for separating solids from liquids), and chromatography (for separating substances based on their differing properties). The choice of method depends on the specific substances and their physical or chemical characteristics.
Why can you separate the components of mixture?
They have different molecular weights and chemical/physical properties.
What physical properties could be used tp separate two different substences?
solubility in water of some other substancewhether one of the substances is magnetic or notboiling points: distillation could be useddensity: centrifugal force could be used

What makes an icing a colloid?
Ice cream is a nontransparent, homogeneous mixture that will not settle out or separate into layers based upon the physical properties of the substances in the mixture.
