∙ 12y agosuppose you have a bag of cans you want to recycle. the alumanum compony only allows alumunum cans. you know some of your cans contain steel. you would probably find that dificult to tell if your cans are alumunum from steel cans. just by looking at them how could you separate the can you would use magnet. the answer is magnet

∙ 12y agoSeparation by distillation (different boiling points), differences in particle size (sieving, filtering), differences between freezing points, different aptitudes to react with some chemicals, different radioactive properties (separation of uranium minerals after radioactivity), different magnetic properties (electromagnetic separation of iron alloys from wastes) and many others.

What is the separation of mixtures based on?
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.
Can mixtures separate easily?
YES!!
What cannot be used to separate mixtures?
Mixtures can be separated using methods of purification (or separation techniques). Examples include filtration, crystallization etc. How a mixture can be separated will depend on its composition/properties.
Why are homogeneous mixtures more difficult to separate then heterogeneous?
Homogeneous mixtures are more difficult to separate than heterogeneous mixtures because the particles are all mixed together, whereas heterogeneous mixtures have particles big enough to see.
What is scooping in methods of separating mixtures?
This is a simple method common in a kitchen; use a scoop.
Why is it possible to use physical properties to separate mixtures?
yes
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 type of properties does distillation use to separate homogeneous mixtures?
The difference between boiling points is exploited.
Is chemical a method used to separate mixtures?
Separation of mixtures is generally based on physical properties.

Why are homogeneous mixtures easier to separate then heterogeneous mixtures?
There not. it is much easier to separate a heterogeneous mixture
What are the similarities and differences between evaporation and distillation?
They are both methods which use heat to separate mixtures.
What is a way nature can take apart mixtures?
what is a way nature can separate mixtures
How do you separate mixtures of evaporation?
you can do it by the temperature
How do you you separate heterogeneous mixtures?
with sand
Can mixtures separate easily?
YES!!
What is a colloid and what is an example?
A colloid is an example of a mixture. Specifically, colloids are mixtures in which the components do not separate. Mixtures in which the components do separate are known as suspensions.
