CHAPTER 5: MIXTURES<br />

2<br />

Distillation can be used to purify water<br />

Distillation can be used to separate pure water from salt. First,<br />

the salt water is heated in a glass flask. The water evaporates<br />

and the water vapour is captured. It is then cooled in a tube<br />

called a condenser, which has cool water flowing around it.<br />

This changes the gas to a liquid. This change is called<br />

condensation. The condensed liquid is collected in<br />

a different beaker, while the salt crystals remain in<br />

the flask.<br />

Distillation can also be used to separate two liquids,<br />

such as water and alcohol. The physical property<br />

that allows these substances to be separated is<br />

boiling point (which is different for every substance).<br />

What is distillation?<br />

CHECKPOINT 5.6<br />

1 Evaporation and crystallisation<br />

are related. Suggest how.<br />

2 Give an example of a mixture<br />

that can be separated<br />

by evaporation and<br />

crystallisation.<br />

3 Describe a situation in which<br />

you could separate something<br />

using distillation.<br />

4 Identify the physical property<br />

of a substance that is used to<br />

separate mixtures in distillation.<br />

5 Suggest how you would go<br />

about creating large crystals<br />

using crystallisation.<br />

CONTEMPORARY<br />

ISSUES<br />

6 Research how a desalination<br />

plant uses the process of<br />

reverse osmosis to purify<br />

water. Use labelled diagrams<br />

to present your findings.<br />

Water inlet<br />

Flask<br />

SUCCESS CRITERIA<br />

I can describe the difference<br />

between evaporation,<br />

crystallisation and distillation.<br />

I can give examples of<br />

situations in which each<br />

technique could be used<br />

to separate mixtures.<br />
