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
Two pure elements are chemically combined to form this substance
Compound
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 place where the neutron and proton are located
nucleus
A phase change that occurs when a solid gains more energy
solid to liquid
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 subatomic particle that has a negative charge
electron
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
The point where a substances has gained energy and changes from a liquid to a gas
boiling point
A substance that cannot dissolve in water
insoluble
The separation method that can be used to separate a homogeneous mixture of salt and water
evaporation or crystallisation
