Since each of the constituents of a mixture still retains its individual property, we can utilize this to separate them. Sieving It is a separation technique that is used to separate solids of different sizes. It is employed in garri processing industries and other industries where sieving is highly needed. Decantation It is used in …
COMPOUND MIXTURE They are chemically bond together and cannot be separated by physical means. They are not chemically bond together and can be separated by physical means. It can be represented by a formula since they are in fixed ratio. It cannot be represented by a formula since they are not in fixed …
Its components can be separated by either physical or mechanical means. Mixtures are heterogenous Its composition varies. Mixtures cannot be represented by any molecular or chemical formula like compounds.
A mixture is a substance that contains two or more compounds that can be separated by physical means. E.g. Dissolution of sugar in water.
A compound can be represented by a definite chemical formula. E.g. H2O, NaCl, KNO3, H2SO4 etc. A compound, when once formed, is not easy to separate -i.e. its composition is fixed. The constituent element of compounds can only be separated by chemical means. Compounds are homogenous
A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically combined together. It is represented by a formula. E.g. when hydrogen and oxygen are combined in 2:1 ratio respectively, water is a compound formed. H2g+12O2g→H20l
