Lesson 5: Separation Techniques

FILTRATION:
=> separation of insoluble solids and liquids      *soluble means can be dissolved in water
























HEATING TO DRYNESS/ EVAPORATION:

eg. salt water => heated to dryness => salt

However, some compounds decompose when heated to dryness!
eg. sugar=>carbon

CRYSTALLISATION:
=> Collect pure solid(soluble) * if solid is thermally unstable, it must be heated indirectly

Saturation
-->When no more sugar can be dissolved
--> changes as temperature changes

*Table Salt CANNOT be crystallised*
