Mainly physical, solids don't go through filters very well, where as liquids cross quite readily.

Can mixtures can be separated by simple chemical means?

Yes, mixtures can be separated by simple chemical means such as filtration, distillation, and chromatography. These techniques take advantage of the physical or chemical properties of the components in the mixture to separate them effectively.


What do filtration and distillation take advantage of?

Filtration takes advantage of differences in particle size to separate substances from a mixture, while distillation uses differences in boiling points to separate substances based on their volatility. Both processes rely on physical properties of the substances being separated to achieve purification.


Is filtering a mixture a chemical or physical change?

it is a physical change because the appearance just changed.


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.


Does chemical and physical properties are probably the same?

No. Chemical and physical properties are different.


When do the physical and chemical properties change?

Physical and chemical properties change as the result of a chemical change, which produces new products with different physical and chemical properties than the reactants.


Why is the process of separating crude oil involves physical changes and not chemical changes?

The process of separating crude oil involves physical changes because the different components of crude oil have different physical properties, such as boiling points. Separation methods like distillation and filtration take advantage of these physical properties to separate the components without changing their chemical composition. This is in contrast to chemical changes, which involve altering the chemical bonds between atoms to create new substances.


Is the mechanical advantage a physical quantity?

Mechaqnical properties are physical properties of materials.


How do you separate matter?

Matter can be separated through physical or chemical means. Physical methods include filtration, distillation, and chromatography, which separate substances based on their physical properties. Chemical methods involve chemical reactions to convert substances into different forms, allowing for isolation of specific components.


Difference between chemical and physical change?

A chemical change is when the chemical properties of a substance changes and a physical change is when the chemical properties stay the same but the physical properties (shape, temperature etc...)

How can substances be separated?

Substances can be separated through various methods such as filtration, distillation, evaporation, chromatography, and centrifugation. These techniques take advantage of the different physical and chemical properties of the substances to isolate them from each other.
