How are physical properties used to separate mixtures?

In: Science, Chemistry, Science Experiments [Edit categories]

Answer:

If you mix two liquids they can be separated by fractional distillation. If you mix two solids, eg, sulphur and salt they can be separated by dissolving one substance in a liquid in which the other is insoluble. If you mix two gases they can be separated in a centrifuge.
