Separation Techniques
I. Experiment 3: SEPARATION TECHNIQUES
II. Objectives: * To learn different methods and techniques of separating components of mixtures * To appreciate the importance of such separation techniques * To apply different methods and techniques in separating components of mixtures
III. Results and Observations Separation of components with different solubilities * AMMONIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, SAND the wt. of mixture with evaporating dish after 1st heating is?? g. And after Its 2nd heating?? g. The method used to separate that mixtures are Filtration and Evaporation. Filtration is the process of separating the solid from the liquid by using a porous filter. And Evaporation is the process of reducing the volume of a solution.
The substances that separated are the sand and the salt. What is the purpose of adding water to the residue (the solid particles that remained on the filtering medium)? We add water to the residue so that we can easily separate the sand from the salt. And after the filtration the sand was left.
Separation of solute between immiscible solvents * IODINE CRYSTALS + WATER + N-HEXANE the N-hexane turned to color violet. The method used to separate that mixture is Extraction. Extraction is the distribution of a solute in two immiscible solvents.
The substances that separated are H2O and Iodine crystals with N-hexane. The iodine crystals have a very low solubility in water and it dissolves quickly when it combines with N-hexane and when it mixed.

Separation of components with different volatilities * WATER AND ACETONE when the water H2O and acetone was heated, the acetone evaporated from the beaker and condensed to the test tube. The method used to separate the mixture is Distillation. Distillation is the process of separating liquid mixtures with components of varying degrees of volatility or significant differences in boiling point. The water and the acetone separated.
The water and Acetone has different

    We came to the conclusion that salt in water is a homogeneous mixture which readily does dissolve in water. While Sand is a heterogeneous mixture due to the many different particles that it contains, while in water it does not dissolve and therefore it remains separated. What physical properties will you use to separate this mixture? The physical properties that were used to separate this mixture were filtration and distillation among this experiment. Through distillation we were able to see the left over compound that was left after all the evaporation happened inside the heated beaker. Is the combination of salt and sand a new compound or a mixture? The combination of salt and sand will always be considered to be a mixture because it cannot be permanently changed, therefore it can always be brought back to the same state that it was started with, it cannot be a new compound due to the mixing of crystals with…

    I figured filtration was the method would be the procedure used for removing the sand. I did not know how the benzoic acid would be removed, I did however think that distillation would be used to remove the salt. The method of boiling and dissolving the salt and benzoic acid from the sand was surprising. I didn’t expect the sand to stay at the bottom when I poured those elements into a different container.…

    The distillation procedure is initiated by gradually heating the mixture until it reaches the temperature of the liquid with the lower boiling point. This liquid then turns into a vapor and leaves to mixture and is collected by the set up apparatus. In fractional distillation a vigreux column is used. This provides for surface area for condensation to occur. At each condensation event the vapor is enriched in the low boiling point component and the liquid is enriched in the high boiling point component. The surfaces where condensation occurs are called theoretical plates. Separation is more efficient when there are more theoretical plates. Therefore, fractional distillation is more efficient in separating than simple distillation. Another new technique was gas chromatography. Gas chromatography is used to separate volatile components of a mixture. First, a small amount is draw up into a syringe and the contents of the syringe are placed into a hot injector pot of the gas chromatograph. The components of the mixture evaporate into the gas phase inside the injector. A carrier gas flows through the injected and pushed the…

    Important process of isolation that is commonly used is to vacuum filter a solution that allows for the separation of insoluble substances present in a solution. The decision to choose vacuum filtration against another method such as gravity filtration is due to the suction pressure in vacuum filtration that creates faster and more effective suction [1]. Once separated, purifying a substance can occur by recrystallizing the solid substance by heating it in water to its boiling point, making it fully dissolved and soluble due to the added source of energy. Then reversing the conditions by cooling the solution, allows pure substance to form crystals at a higher temperature with other ‘like’ crystals that make the substance more pure, while the impurities remain dissolved in the solution till the solution is further…

    The initial mass of unknown # 12-Green was recorded. The first substance separated from the mixture was iron based on its unique magnetic property. A magnet was used to extract the iron from unknown # 12-Green and the mass of the iron fillings was recorded. The next substance separated from the mixture was ammonium chloride based on its unique ability to sublimate. Unknown # 12-Green was heated with a Bunsen burner in a fume hood (note the special precaution) until the ammonium chloride was entirely extracted. The mass of the mixture was obtained to determine the amount of ammonium chloride lost due to sublimation and the mass of ammonium chloride in the mixture was recorded. Next, the extraction separation technique was used to separate the two remaining substances, silicon dioxide and sodium chloride. Extraction is used to remove a substance with a greater solubility from a substance with a lower solubility. In this case, silicon dioxide is not soluble in water while sodium chloride is. Therefore, approximately 20mL of deionized water was added to the mixture. The mixture was stirred until the sodium chloride was dissolved and the silicon dioxide had settled to the bottom of the dish. The filtration separation technique was used to separate the silicon dioxide from the sodium chloride suspended in water. The silicon dioxide collected in the filter paper was placed in the oven until it was…

    This experiment consisted of the separation of sodium chloride and silica. The mixture was separated by extracting the sodium chloride with water and drying both substances. Adding water to the mixture, stirring, then decanting the resulting liquid twice extracts the dissolved sodium chloride from the silica. Heating both sodium chloride and silica separately provides the mass of each. The data from this experiment can be used to calculate the percent composition of sodium chloride and silica when in a mixture. When this experiment was performed, the percent composition of sodium chloride came out to be 47% and 53% of silica.…

    Mixtures are usually content of two or more substances. There are two kind of mixtures, Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. For Homogeneous mixture we cannot see the individual particles of the components, a good example of that will be air, cola drink, and rubbing alcohol. And for heterogeneous mixture we can see the individual particles of the components, a good example of that will be rocks and soil. There are a variety of methods that we can separate the mixtures with. Physical and chemical methods are the most useful way to separate the components. A ternary mixture is containing three substances; it can be separated by both physical and chemical method in many steps.…

    Chromatography is a term used to define a set of laboratory techniques for the separation of mixtures. Through Chromatography we analyzed complex mixtures. In our recent lab we analyzed complex mixtures. The purpose of this lab was to find whether the water soluble or acetone soluble liquid traveled farther. In our recent lab we measured the distance traveled by the different colored water and acetone soluble inks. W put three dots of water soluble ink on a piece of filter paper and four dots of acetone soluble ink at the other end. We then put the end of the filter paper in a small amount of distilled water in a beaker. The filter paper absorbed the water and the ink slowly spread to the top of the paper. We repeated these steps for both the water soluble and acetone soluble ink but when we did the acetone soluble ink, we placed the filter paper in an acetone-water mixture instead of just distilled water. We then recorded our results which showed that water soluble inks traveled farther than the acetone soluble inks. The results of our experiment showed how each different color of water soluble inks traveled farther than any of the acetone soluble inks.…
