PHASE SEPARATION METHODS
Course: 3rd A Prof. Claudia Taie
Objectives:
1. Identify the different methods of fractionation
2. Differentiate the uses of the same
3. Indicate for which cases each of them can be used.
Materials:
Funnel, filter paper, tea strainer, sand, rice, soil, water, iron filings, sulfur powder,
imán, harina, trozo de tela permeable, aceite, embudo de decantación, sal, balón de destilación,
termómetro
complete trays and lighters.
Procedure:
1. Place the filter paper in the funnel. Put soil in water and then pour that solution into the funnel.
Collect the liquid obtained in the test tube.
2. Now mix rice and flour; place a sample of the mixture in the strainer and gently tap it.
3. Mix the iron filings with the sulfur powder or sand. Bring the magnet close to the mixture.
anterior.
4. Place a spoonful of wheat flour in the cloth and then close it as if making a small bag. Place
the bag under the water stream and knead gently so that the water acts on the flour.
After 2 or 3 minutes, remove and open the bag.
5. Place water with soil in a glass and form mud. Let the soil or mud rest,
deposit in the bowl. Then tip the glass to let the water out.
6. Place water and oil in a beaker. Pour the mixture into a separatory funnel, let it sit.
let the mixture rest and then separate them.
7. Make a mixture of salt and sand. If we need to separate the salt from the sand, we introduce the mixture into
water.
8. Place the salty water from the previous experience on the fire.
9. Distillation of a mixture of water and copper sulfate. Observe the procedure and explain it with your
palabras ¿Qué queda en el recipiente? ¿Qué liquido se obtiene al final del aparato destilador?
Conclusions:
1. What do you observe in the test tube? What do you observe on the filter paper? What method of
What fraction did you use in this case?
2. What particles passed through the strainer? What remains in it? Why can some pass through?
particles and others not? What method of fractionation did you use in this case?
3. Explain what happened and why. What separation method did you use in this case?
4. What fractionation method did you use in this case? Do you know any other case where it
Did you apply this method?
5. What fractionation method did you use in this case? In what other cases do you use it? Think about
things you do at home. Why do you shake a box of chocolate milk before drinking it?
6. What fractionation method did you use in this case? Why can you use it? What are the
densities of the 2 liquids? Did they mix at any point? What is the key used for?
The funnel? Does your mom use this method in your home when cooking without knowing it?
7. What happens to salt in water and with sand? What method you have already used allows you to separate the
water from the sand? Is it pure water?
8. What do you observe on the walls of the container when the water evaporated? Is it similar to what
What happens when sea water evaporates in our body after a bath? What method of
What fraction did you use in this case?
9. What fractionation method did you use in this case? When would you use it?
10. How many and which methods of fractionation were studied? Provide a brief overview.
description of each of them and try to indicate in which case they are used; that is, how they are
the characteristics of the substances to be separated in each case.
