a. Filtration is the process used when you want to recover the precipitate
in the pure form, by passing the mixture through a porous medium.
b. Distillation is the process of separating a certain liquid from the rest of
the mixture, it involves boiling the mixture to vaporize a liquid and then
cooling the vapor to condense it.
Types of distillation:
Fractional distillation useful for separating liquid mixture
whose component substance have narrow differences in boiling
points (closer to 50 degrees). The liquid with the lowest boiling
point vaporizes first.
Steam Distillation a technique commonly used to separate
the volatile oils from plant materials, whether flower, leaves, bark
or root.
c. Mechanical Separation involves the use of forceps, sieves and other
similar tools.
d. Decantation a method in which some solids of a suspension mixture
are allowed to settle and the liquid is then poured off.
e. Centrifugation is used to aid in separation of precipitate from a
solution in a test tube. The centrifugal force developed during the rotation
brings outward force for setting that is much higher than the gravitational
force. Then the supernatant liquid is poured off.
f. Chromatography uses the difference in degree to which substances
are absorbed on the surface of an inert substance.
LAWS GOVERNING MATTER AND ENERGY
Law of Conservation of Matter
Formulated by Antoine Lavoiser, 1789
States that matter is neither created nor destroyed in any
transformation of matter.
Law of Conservation of Mass
States that in any chemical reaction the mass of the system
remains constant. To follow the law of conservation of matter,
there must be exactly the same number each atom on each side
of the equation.
Example:
4 Al + 3 O2
2 Al2 O3
4 (27) + 3(32)
=
2(54) + 2(48)
108 +
96
=
108
+ 96
204 grams
204 grams
Law of Conservation of Energy
States that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be changed
from one form to another.
