1. Here is a list of eight common separating techniques.

A dissolving, filtering, evaporating

B simple distillation
C fractional distillation
D chromatography
E crystallization
F sublimation
G using a separating funnel
H centrifuging

From A to H, select a suitable separating technique which could be used to separate

the following mixtures of chemicals. Use each technique only once.
i. Mixture of amino acids

ii. Olive oil and vinegar

iii. Sugar from sugar solution

iv. Salt from sand

v. Pure water from ink

vi. Iodine and sodium iodide

vii. Red blood cells from blood plasma

viii. Petrol and kerosene

14.A few drops of the indicator screened methyl orange was placed at the centre of
a piece of filter paper. Drops of water were added to the centre of the filter paper.
Drops of water centre of the were added to the centre of the filter paper. The two
constituent dyes of the
Indicators were separated as shown in the diagram.

a) What is this separation technique called?

b) What was the original colour of the screened methyl orange?
c) The diagram below shows two other methods of the separating the
constituent dyes in screened methyl orange.

i. On each of these diagrams, put marks to show where you would expect the
separated blue and yellow dyes to appear.
ii. In which of these two methods would the water travel fastest? Give a reason
for your answer.
iii. At the beginning of the experiment, why must the spot of indicator be above
(ascending method) or below (descending method) the water level?

15.The table below gives some information about the properties of three chemicals.
Chemical Effect of heat Cold water Hot water
Potassium nitrate No effect Soluble Very soluble
Barium sulphate No effect Insoluble Insoluble
naphthalene No effect insoluble Insoluble
Using this information, how you obtain pure, dry samples of each chemical, if you
started with a mixture of all three?
16. The table below gives some information about what happens to some items in
household refuse after they are crushed up.
Refuse Addition of water
Copper objects Sink quickly
Glass object Sink slowly
Plastics Sink slowly
Iron objects Float on water
Paper and cardboard Sink quickly
Sink if thoroughly wetted
a) How could glass be distinguished from the metal refuse?
b) How would you separate iron metal form refuse?
c) How would you separate plastic material from the refuse?
d) Which types of refuse can be recycled?
