Methods of Separation in Everyday Life Solutions Overview
Chapter 9 explains why mixtures are separated and how the correct method depends on the difference between components. Handpicking uses visible size or colour, winnowing uses weight, sieving uses particle size, filtration uses pore size, decantation uses settling or layers, and magnetic separation uses magnetism.
| Method | Property used | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Handpicking | visible size, colour or shape | stones from grains |
| Sieving | different particle sizes | bran from flour |
| Filtration | pore size | chalk powder from water |
| Decantation | settling or separate layers | oil from water |
| Magnetic separation | magnetism | iron powder from sawdust |
How to Separate a Three-Part Mixture in Chapter 9
The potato, salt and sawdust question needs more than one method. First remove the large visible potato pieces, then use water to dissolve salt, separate sawdust, and finally evaporate the salt solution.
- Large solid: potatoes can be handpicked.
- Soluble solid: salt dissolves in water.
- Insoluble solid: sawdust can be filtered or skimmed.
- Recovery: evaporation leaves salt behind.
