As a mixture is not evenly mixed there are many ways to separate its components by some of these physical methods:
FILTRATION
CRYSTALLISATION
EVAPORATION
DISTILLATION
CHROMATOGRAPHY

What are three uses of filters to separate components of mixtures?
1) To separate bacteria and dirt from water 2) To ensure that air is free of dust and other substances
Do components in mixtures maintain their own characteristics?
It is true that components in mixtures maintain their own characteristics. The two types of mixtures are homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture.
What method is used to separate homogenous mixture whose components boil at different temperature?
The most common method for separating the components of a homogeneous mixture whose components boil at different temperature is distillation. If the boiling points are close to each other, multiple stages of distillation may be needed. Also note that not all homogeneous mixtures can be separated into their components this way, because some form mixtures called azeotropes that have a higher boiling point than either pure component. Ethanol and water, for example, form an azeotrope that contains about 95 % ethanol.
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.
How will you separate the components of a mixtures containing sawdust sugar and iron filings?
Use a magnet to separate the iron filings, filter the remaining sawdust and sugar water solution, evaporate the water from the sugar water solution.
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.
Why it is called chromatography separation?
Because we are using this technique to separate mixtures of substances into their components
Can chromatography be used to separate mixtures?
Chromatography is used in case of an investigation as in the analysis of poisoned food, chromatography can help find individual components.
What are heterogeneous mixture?
Examples of 5 heterogeneous mixtures are milk and cereal, rocks in water, Pizza, soil, and vinegar and oil. These are mixtures that have separate components.
How can dissolving be used to separate components of a mixtures?
Some compounds are soluble, other are not soluble; by filtration they are separated.
What are the components of mixtures?
Whatever it was that was mixed together to form a mixture, is a component of that mixture.
What are three uses of filters to separate components of mixtures?
1) To separate bacteria and dirt from water 2) To ensure that air is free of dust and other substances
Can desalination be used to separate mixtures?
Distillation may be used to seperate components in mixture based on the differences in their boiling points
What does chromatography help find?
Chromatography can help separate individual components of a complex mixtures AND quantify them with the use of a calibration curve.
What two main types of mixtures?
Homogeneous (mixtures that have equally proportionate components throughout) and heterogeneous (mixtures with unequally proportionate components throughout).
What is an example of a hetergenous mixture?
Heterogeneous mixtures are those mixtures where the components are still separate and identifiable, and the entire mixture is non-uniform. One example of this type of mixture is a bowl of cereal in milk.
Do components in mixtures maintain their own characteristics?
It is true that components in mixtures maintain their own characteristics. The two types of mixtures are homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture.
