b. Distillation c. Fractional Distillation |
Heterogeneous mixtures-Can be separated by physical means (without the use of chemicals).
-Not uniform, has two phases or more (e.g a mixture of water and soil). Methods used to separate heterogeneous mixtures:a. seiving
b. Semidantation and Decantation c. Filtration |
