Distillation
Chromatography
2
Multiple Choice
A pure substance is made up of _________ type of thing.
only one
more than one
3
Multiple Choice
A mixture is made up of ________ type pf things
only one
more than one
4
Separation methods help us to separate out a mixture
How we separate the mixture depends on what's in the mixture!
5
For example...
Say you went to the beach! You used your bucket to scoop up some water but realised there was a lot of sand in there...
What could you do?!
6
Multiple Choice
Is sand soluble or insoluble?
Soluble
Insoluble
7
Sand is insoluble!
This means that the sand will NOT dissolve in the seawater!
So, you can see and touch the sand in the bucket - so how could you separate this mixture in the lab.
8
Multiple Choice
Describe how you could separate an INSOLUBLE material (e.g. sand) from a solution.
Crystallisation
Filtration
Distillation
Chromatography
9
Filtration
Filtration is used to separate an insoluble substance from a solution.
10
Open Ended
Filtration is used to separate.... ?
11
Open Ended
List 3 pieces of equipment used in filtration.
12
Multiple Choice
Where will the sand be left after filtration?
In the filter paper
In the conical flask
13
Multiple Choice
Where will the seawater be left after filtration
In the filter paper
In the conical flask
14
Success!
You have managed to remove the INSOLUBLE sand from your mixture! All that filtering has made you thirsty, so you decide to take a sip...
15
YUCK!
The water is salty!
16
Multiple Choice
There must be salt dissolved in the water! This means that salt is...
Soluble
Insoluble
17
That's right! Salt is soluble!
Something that is soluble CANNOT be removed by filtration! What should you do now...?
18
Multiple Choice
If I want to keep the salt but get rid of the water I should use...
Filtration
Crystalisation
Distillation
Chromatography
19
Crystallisation!
This helps me evaporate all of the water in a solution and just leaves the soluble material (e.g. salt).

25
What if I wanted to keep the water from my salty mixture?
26
Multiple Select
To separate the water from a solution I should use...
