B. Laboratory Activity (10 points)
You are handling mixtures every day. Are you aware of it? In the morning, you add sugar to a
cup of hot chocolate. Or you add powdered milk to a glass of water. You are making mixtures! Can you
separate the components of mixtures? How? Explain.
Work with your group in this activity.
Mixture 1: 1 tsp sugar & 1 tsp pebbles Mixture 4: Water & starch
Mixture 2: 1 g iron filings & 1 g white sand Mixture 5: Equal amount of water & cooking oil
Mixture 3: Water and 1 tsp salt
Group reporters will share to the class how you separated the components of mixtures and the resulting
materials.
C. Abstraction
There are different ways of separating the components of mixtures.
1. Manual separation – is done to mixtures which components differ in size. Pebbles can be separated
manually from sugar with the use of fingers or tweezers. But this is very tiresome and will take a longer
time. A fine mesh screen can also be used to separate sugar from pebbles.
2. Magnetic separation – is a process that uses magnet to separate the magnetic component from a
non-magnetic one. Iron filings are magnetic, thus can be used to separate them from the non-magnetic
sand.
3. Filtration – is a process that can separate suspended particles from the liquid. Water can be
separated from starch to some extent using filtration. An ultrafilter can totally separate components of
colloidal mixture.
4. Decantation – is a process of separating a mixture of solids that differ in density. The less dense liquid
usually stays on top. The denser liquid such as water settles at the bottom. In this mixture, oil can be
gently poured out of the glass and retain water. A stirring rod can be used to guide the less dense liquid
to the other container.
5. Evaporation process is used to separate a solute that has been dissolved in water. A small amount of
mixture of salt and water can be heated, and when water evaporates, salt remains on the evaporating
dish,
6. Freezing or cooling is a process of separating mixture used for mixtures composed of two liquid
components of different freezing points. In the mixture of oil and water, oil has lower freezing point
thus, solidifies first. It is then separated easily from the water component that is still in liquid state.
