Methods of Separating Mixtures
• Magnet
• Filter
• Decant
• Evaporation
• Centrifuge
• Chromatography
• Distillation
Filtration
separates
a liquid
from a
solid

Mixture of
solid and
liquid Stirring
rod
Filtrate (liquid
component
of the mixture)
Filter paper
traps solid
Funnel
Paper Chromatography
Chromatography:
Separates substances on the basis of
differences in solubility in a solvent.
Setup to heat a solution
Zumdahl, Zumdahl, DeCoste, World of Chemistry 2002, page 42
Ring stand
Beaker
Wire gauze
Ring
Bunsen burner
The solution is boiled and steam
is driven off.
Zumdahl, Zumdahl, DeCoste, World of Chemistry 2002, page 39
Distillation Apparatus
Salt remains after all water is
boiled off.
Zumdahl, Zumdahl, DeCoste, World of Chemistry 2002, page 39
No chemical change occurs
when salt water is distilled.

Centrifugation
• Spin sample very rapidly:
denser materials go to
bottom (outside)
• Separate blood into serum
and plasma
– Plasma = less dense
– Erythrocytes = red blood cells
• Check for anemia (lack of iron)
