What is the physical and chemical method of separation of mixtures

Open in App

Solution

When two or more substances, that do not react chemically, are blended together, the result is a mixture in which each component retains its individual identity and properties. The separation of the components of a mixture is a problem frequently encountered in chemistry. The basis of the separation is the fact that each component has a different set of physical and chemical properties. The components are pure substances which are either elements or compounds. Under the same conditions of pressure and temperature, the properties of every sample of a pure substance are identical. Each sample melts at the same temperature, boils at the same temperature, has the same solubility in a given solvent, etc. Although these and other characteristics can be used to identify a particular substance, we will be concerned, in this experiment, with the separation of a mixture into its components, not with the identification of the substances. Techniques used to separate mixtures rely on differences in the physical properties of the components.

chemical methode of seperation is the seperation of mixture based on their chemical behaviour . using some chemicals we seperate the mixtures
