Compare The Physical And Chemical Methods For Separating The Components Of A Ternary Mixture

This particular lab will focus on separating the components of a ternary mixture, which is a mixture that contains three substances. Both physical and chemical methods are available for separating the components of a mixture. Physical methods use differences in the physical properties of components of a mixture, while chemical methods involve the selective reaction of one of the components of a mixture to form a new substance. In this experiment, five methods of separation will be used: decantation, filtration, evaporation, extraction, and vacuum filtration. Decantation will be used for separating the liquid component of a solid-liquid mixture from the solid by pouring. Filtration will separate a solid from a liquid by passing the liquid through
