Which method of separation involves heating a mixture to vaporize one component and then condensing it back into liquid form?

Distillation

Explanation

Distillation separates components based on differences in boiling points.

What is the process of separating insoluble solid particles from a liquid by passing the mixture through a porous material called?

Filtration

Explanation

Filtration utilizes a porous material to separate insoluble solid particles from liquids.

What is the process of separating a solid from a liquid by allowing the solid to settle at the bottom of a container?

Decantation

Explanation

Decantation separates by allowing solid settling in a container.

Which method of separation is commonly used to obtain pure solid crystals from a solution?

Crystallization

Explanation

Crystallization is used to obtain pure solid crystals from solutions.

Which method of separation is used to separate a mixture of liquids with different boiling points by heating the mixture and collecting the vapors?

Distillation

Explanation

Distillation separates liquids by differences in boiling points.

Which of the following separation techniques relies on the differences in boiling points of the components of a mixture?

Distillation

Explanation

Distillation relies on differences in boiling points for separation.

What is the purpose of a separating funnel in chemistry?

To separate immiscible liquids

Explanation

Separating funnel is used to separate immiscible liquids.

Which method of separation is typically used to separate a mixture of colored components based on their different rates of movement through a stationary phase?

Chromatography

Explanation

Chromatography separates based on differential migration through a stationary phase.

Which of the following separation techniques relies on the differences in particle size of the components of a mixture?

Filtration

Explanation

Filtration separates based on differences in particle size.

#10

In chromatography, what is the stationary phase?

The phase that remains fixed

Explanation

Stationary phase remains fixed in chromatography.

#11

Which of the following separation methods relies on the differences in solubility of components in a solvent?

Crystallization

Explanation

Crystallization separates based on differences in solubility.

#12

Which separation technique is used to separate substances based on their different boiling points without vaporizing the entire mixture?

Fractional distillation

Explanation

Fractional distillation separates based on boiling points without vaporizing the entire mixture.
