REVIEW

• 1. How is matter classified?

• 2. What are the classification of matter?
• 3. Can you give an example of each
classification of matter?
• 4. Can mixtures be separated?
OBJECTIVE

understand how mixtures are

separated using the different
separating techniques
SEPARATION OF MIXTURES

•Mixtures are combination of substances.

•These substance are made of elements
and/or compounds.
•Mixtures can be separated by use of
physical means.
NONWIWNGI
WINNOWING

•solid mixtures are shaken to

remove unwanted solid particles
•ex. separate palay seeds from rice
grains
GIVIESN
SIEVING

•filtering of solid mixtures

•larger solid particles are removed
from the mixture
•ex. separation of gravel and sand
SIMTENMGA
MAGNETISM

•use of magnets to remove metallic

particles
•ex. removal/extraction of iron
fillings
NITOSDEIMNEAT
 SEDIMENTATION
•liquid mixtures allow suspended
particles to settle at the bottom of the
container
•once the particles settle, the liquid can
be removed from the mixture leaving
behind the solid insoluble particles
NOTINCADETA
DECANTATION

•insoluble liquids are settled

forming a layer of liquids
•once the liquids settle, the top
layer of liquid can be removed
TNOLITAFRI
FILTRATION

•insoluble solid particles are

removed by using a filter
•residue – unwanted particles
•filtrate - filtered
VAPETROINAO
EVAPORATION

•solid particles that were dissolved

can be recovered by evaporating
the liquid in the solution
•ex. separation of a salt solution
TONILACUFOLC
FLOCCULATION
•it refers to the process by which fine
particles in a liquid solution are caused
to clump together into a floc by the
use of a flocculating agent
•the floc may float or settle at the
bottom for easy removal
NOTIGUALOCA
COAGULATION
•unwanted solid and liquid particles
in a solution are mixed with a
coagulating agent
•coagulated particles combine to
become bigger for easy removal
DSITLILNAOIT
DISTILLATION
•a process in which impurities in an
unclean water is being removed
•simple distillation includes the ff.
process:
•a. evaporation
•b. condensation
