This document discusses different types of mixtures and methods for separating mixtures. It defines suspensions and solutions as two types of mixtures, with suspensions having parts that settle out over time and solutions having parts that are evenly distributed. It also defines key terms like solutes, solvents, and solubility. Finally, it outlines several common separation methods like filtration, evaporation, magnets, and distillation.

1. How are mixtures formed and
separated

2. A mix of 2 or more substances.
Example 1: Salt and sand.
Example 2: Salt and water.
Example 3: Salad

3. Suspensions Solutions

4.  Type of mixture which over time has one
or more parts that settles to the bottom.
 Example 1: Sand in water mixture.
 Example 2: Orange juice.
 Example 3: Some medicines.

5.  Type of mixture with parts that blends so
that it looks the same everywhere even
under the microscope.
 Example: Salt in water mixture .

6. Solutes Solvents
The smaller
amount that is
dissolved in a
solution.
The larger
amount that
dissolves the
other substance
in a solution.

7.  Note:
 Solutions can be made with solids, liquids
and gases.
 Example: Sugar (solute) in water (solvent).

8.  What is solubility?
 Amount of solute that can dissolve in a
solvent.
 Note:
 Water is a universal solvent.
 Many substances become more soluble at
higher temperatures.

9. Filtration Evaporation
Magnet Distillation

10.  Using filter paper.
 Example: Separating sand in water
mixture.
 Sand Stays in filter paper.
 Water passes through.

11.  Example: Separating sugar in water
mixture.
 Water Evaporates.
 Sugar Stays behind.

12.  Example: Separating sand in iron mixture.
 Iron Attracted.
 Sand Stays behind.

13.  Separating mixture of liquids.
