Introducing solutions

Separating mixtures

Contents


For example, a cup of instant coffee is a solution.

The solid that dissolves (e.g. coffee granules) is called the solute.

The liquid that does the dissolving (e.g. hot water) is called the solvent.

How many other examples of solutions can you think of?

Mixtures and solutions

A mixture is two or more substances that are mixed together but not chemically joined.

A solution is a special type of mixture that is made when a solid dissolves and mixes a liquid.

Salty water

Where does the salt around the Dead Sea come from?


Separating mixtures

Sea water is a salty mixture that contains water, salt, sand and other substances. The Dead Sea is a salty lake that contains some of the saltiest water in the world!

The Dead Sea is almost six times more salty than the ocean, so nothing is able to live in it and that’s why it is called “dead”.

The substances in a mixture, such as salty water, are not chemically joined which means they can be separated.

How is salt separated from salty water?


How are solids separated out of mixtures?

If a solid is insoluble (e.g. sand in water) then it is easy to separate it by filtering the mixture.

The insoluble solid cannot pass through the filter paper but the water can.

To separate a soluble solid from a liquid (e.g. salt and water), evaporation can be used.

The solution is heated so that the water evaporates and leaves the dissolved solid behind.

Separating salt from sea water

The main salt dissolved in sea water is “common salt”.

In hot areas, how can the Sun be used to separate the salt from sea water?

The heat of the Sun evaporates the water, the salt is left behind and collected in salt beds.

Salt can also be obtained from ‘rock salt’ found in layers under the ground.

How are dissolving, filtering and evaporating used to separatethe salt from rock salt?


Separating solvents

Evaporation can be use to separate and collect the solute in a solution. How can the solvent be collected?

The technique use to obtain a solvent from its solution is called distillation.

Distillation has three steps:evaporating;condensing; collecting.

The solution is heated so that the solvent (a liquid) evaporates and is turned into a gas. The solute is left behind.

The gas cools in the condenser and turns back into a liquid. This liquid is collected and is pure solvent.

A spot of the mixture is placed on some filter paper.

In method A, the solvent is soaked up the paper.

In method B, the solvent or is slowly dripped onto the paper.

What is chromatography?

The substances in the mixture get separated because more soluble substances spread along the paper faster.

Chromatography is used to separate mixtures of coloured or non-coloured substances that are soluble in the same solvent.

Chromatography experiment


The mixture consists of dyes 3 and 5.

Identifying dyes in a mixture

Dots of known single dyes are placed alongside the dot for the unknown mixture.

After the solvent washes through the paper, the pattern of the dyes in the mixture is compared with the single dyes.

Which dyes does the mixture consist of?

Chromatography can be used to find out if a dye is made up of a single coloured substance or a mixture.

Does a solid keep dissolving?


Does sugar dissolve in a cup of cold tea?

The sugar does dissolve but not as much as in a cup of hot tea.

The sugar is more soluble at higher temperatures.

How does the solubility of a substance change with temperature?

The solubility of a substance usually increases as the temperature increases.

How does temperature affect solubility?

The amount of a solute that can dissolve at a given temperature is called its solubility.
