Match each description or picture to the correct separation technique.

Question

1. A method that can be used to separate the different colors of ink in a black marker.:

2. A method used to separate a homogeneous solution in which a solid is dissolved in a liquid. The mixture is heated, causing the liquid to evaporate, leaving the solid behind.:

3. A method used to separate a mixture of two liquids based on the property of boiling point.:

4. A method that is used to separate heterogeneous mixtures of solids and liquids. The mixture is poured through a filter. The filter traps the solid while the liquid is allowed to pass through.:

choices: evaporation, distillation, chromatography, and filtration

choose the correct answers

Answer 1
