Methods of Separating Mixtures
• Magnet• Filter• Decant• Evaporation• Centrifuge• Chromatography• Distillation
• Filtrate: as the liquid that passes through the filter
Filtration separates
a liquid from a solid

The solution is boiled and steam is driven off.

Salt remains after all water is boiled off.

No chemical change occurs when salt water is distilled.

Different Types of Fuel Combustion
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 16 CO2 + 18 H2O
__CH3OH +__O2 __CO2 +__H2O
Methanol (in racing fuel)
Gasoline (octane)
Centrifugation
• Spin sample very rapidly: denser materials go to bottom (outside)
• Separate blood into serum and plasma– Serum (clear)– Plasma (contains red blood
cells ‘RBCs’)• Check for anemia (lack of iron)
