solutions
The particles that dissolve in solution
solute
A solution containing the maximum amount of solute particles
saturated
A method of separation which uses mesh or special paper
filtration
A substance containing two or more pure substances that can be separated by physical processes, such as filtration.
mixture
A method of separation which involves spinning a mixture to separate its components based on size
centrifuging
The substance that dissolves the particles in a solution
solvent
Particles that fall to the bottom of a container of liquid
sediment
A method which uses a magnet and relies on the magnetic properties of substances
magnetic separation
A substance containing only one substance
pure substance
A method of separation which relies on the different boiling points of substances. Both the solute and solvent are collected.
distillation
A solution that contains water
aqueous
A cloudy mixtures of particles that eventually fall the bottom of a container of liquid
suspension
A method used to separate mixtures such as dyes or texta colours
chromatography
Known as the "Universal Solvent"
water
The separation method used when the particles in a mixture are different sizes
filtration
A solution containing a small amount of solute particles
dilute
A substance which has particles that are bigger than in a solution but smaller than in a suspension
colloids
The separation of water from a solution which results in the formation of solute particles with a particular shape
crystallisation
A substance that can dissolve in water
soluble
The separation method that can be used to remove iron
magnetic separation
A solution containing a large amount of solute particles
concentrated
A method where liquid is separated from sediment by pouring
decanting
A method that separates minerals from their ores
froth flotation
A substance that cannot dissolve in water
insoluble
The separation method that can be used to separate blood into its components
centrifuging
