|
It is the process of separation of liquid from a dense, insoluble substance in a heterogeneous mixture |
Decantation |
|
|
It is only a useful method if the solid particles readily settle to the bottom. |
Decanting |
|
|
This process can be carried out by tilting the container, such as a beaker, containing the mixture, while allowing the solid particles to settle at the bottom of the beaker, forming a sediment layer called the _____. |
Decantation residue |
|
|
The beaker must be titled so that residue will not be disturbed when pouring off the liquid called the ________, into another beaker. |
supernatant liquid |
|
|
In the laboratory, using a _____ or ______ can assist the decanting process, as it minimizes the amount of splashing and reduces the risk of pouring off some of the residues. |
stirring rod or glass rod |
|
|
It is the process of separating suspended, insoluble solid particles from a liquid by causing the liquid to pass through the pores of some substance, called a _____. |
Filtration filter |
|
|
The liquid which has passed through the filter is called the _____, while the solid that gets trapped in the filter is called the _______. |
filtrate residue |
|
|
It is only a useful method if the solid particles are large enough to be collected by the filter |
Filtration |
|
|
It is used for recovering dissolved solids from homogeneous mixtures. |
Evaporation |
|
|
The process typically involves heating the mixture until no more liquid remains |
Evaporation |
|
|
This method is suitable to separate a soluble solid from a liquid. |
Evaporation |
|
|
It is a procedure by which a mixture of two or more miscible liquids with different boiling points can be separated |
Distillation |
|
|
Distillation is similar to evaporation, except that the evaporated substance, known as the ____, is collected. |
distillate |
|
|
This can be used to separate a mixture of two non-miscible (immiscible), liquids that do not mix together to form homogeneous solution. |
separatory funnel (also known as a separation funnel, separating funnel, or colloquially sep funnel) |
