Play Separation of Mixtures
About the game
Observe how chemical mixtures can be separated using techniques like distillation, filtration, sublimation, chromatography, centrifugation and separating funnel. Then answer questions on these separation methods.
Grades: 9 & 10
Time: 20 -30 mins.
Skills you will learn: Working principle of all the above separation techniques.
Teachers Note: Animation of the separation techniques helps students visualize and understand the separation methods more easily. Solving the Q and A quiz in the end increases their confidence in the understanding of these methods. It is a useful and engaging 20-30 min activity.
How to play
In this chemistry game you can learn how mixtures can be separated. Watch the animation to see how –
a) distillation separates mixtures of two miscible liquids or separates solute from the solvent in which it has been dissolved.
b) filtration separates a heterogeneous mixture of solid and liquid
c) sublimation can be used to separate a mixture of two solids out of which one has the property of sublimation
d) chromatography can be used to separate a mixture of dyes or red and blue ink based on the principle of different rate of adsorption
e) a separating funnel can be used to separate a heterogeneous mixture of two liquids.
f) fractional distillation can be used to separate two miscible liquids that have boiling points with difference of less than 25K.
g) centrifugation to separate very fine solid particles from suspensions or colloids.
