What is a solute?
The method of separating a mixture by passing it through a filter.
What is filtration?
The "thickness" or "thinness" of a fluid.
What is viscosity?
The upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it.

The method used to separate crude oil into its components/parts by boiling and condensation.
What is fractional distillation?
State of matter used in pneumatic systems.
What is gas?
