Instruments required (include name):
Decantation
Instruments required (include name):
Beaker
Beaker

What it looks like (example):
What it looks like (example):
The substance at the bottom has a higher density
than the one on top.
This technique must be done after sedimentation
took place.
For heterogeneous mixtures.
For heterogeneous mixtures.
Separation Methods
Filtration
Instruments required (include name):
Beaker
Distillation
Instruments required (include name):
Funnel
Beaker
Tube (condenser)
Round bottom flask
Stand and
Clamp
Filter paper
Test tube
Hot plate
What it looks like (example):
The FILTRATE is what goes through
The RESIDUE is what remains in filter
(Show where they are in the example)
What it looks like (example):
The DISTILLATE is what is boiled and cooled
The RESIDUE is what remains in the round bottom flask
(Show where they are in the example)
For heterogeneous mixtures.
This method relies on a characteristic property called
boiling point.
For homogeneous mixtures.
