Model Answer

Distillation

  • The selective boiling and subsequent condensation of a component in a liquid mixture is referred to as distillation.
  • It is a method of separation that can be used to either make a component in the mixture more concentrated or to extract (almost) pure components from the mixture.
  • The mixture of acetone and water is separated using simple distillation. These liquids have a large difference in their boiling points. The boiling point of acetone is 560C, whereas that of water is 100C.

Chromatography

  • Chromatography is a laboratory method for separating a mixture into its component parts in chemical analysis.
  • The mobile phase, which is a gas or liquid fluid solvent, transports the mixture through a system (a column, capillary tube, plate, or sheet) on which a stationary phase material is fixed.
  • The pigments from an extract of flower petals can be separated by the process of chromatography.

Sublimation

  • Sublimation refers to the transition or transformation of substances from one state to another, such as from a solid to a gas, which is referred to as a "passage."
  • At a temperature and pressure below the substance's triple point, this is an endothermic phase transition.

Centrifugation

  • The mechanical process of centrifugation uses the centrifugal force to separate particles from a solution based on their size, shape, density, medium viscosity, and rotor speed.
  • The denser parts of the mixture move away from the centrifuge's axis, while the lighter parts move toward it.
