Answer:
Physical manipulation separates the components of varying sizes using a spoon or any scooping material or by picking. The use of magnet can be done to separate the metallic materials from nonmetallic materials.
Filtration is the separation of an insoluble solid from a liquid mixture using a semipermeable membrane like filter paper. The filtered liquid or the liquid which passed through the filter paper is known as the filtrate. Meanwhile, the filtered solid or the solid left at the filtered paper is known as residue.
In decantation, the large particles of insoluble solid are separated from the liquid mixture. The mixture is allowed to stand to separate the liquid layer from the solids that have settled. To decant a mixture, carefully pour off the liquid to leave the solids behind.
Evaporation separates the soluble solid from the liquid component of the solution by evaporating the liquid substance. In a given mixture, the liquid component is separated from the solid component by heating the mixture until the liquid evaporates leaving the solid component.
Distillation separates the components of a mixture of liquids based on difference in boiling point. As one component reaches its boiling point, this component evaporates from the mixture. The gas is then allowed to cool. As it condenses, the component turns to liquid and is collected using a receiving flask. The process continues until all the desired components have been separated from the mixture. The component which has the lowest boiling point will be obtained first.
Centrifugation: A centrifuge is a machine that is used to separate the components based on difference in density. The centrifuge spins rapidly and the denser component is collected at the bottom of the tube.
