Separation techniques are methods used to separate mixtures into their individual components.
1. Filtration separates an insoluble solid from a liquid. It can be used to obtain a product free from unreacted chemicals, by-products, or solvent.
2. Evaporation separates a soluble solid from its solution by evaporating the solvent, leaving crystals which can then be collected by filtration.
3. Simple Distillation separates a liquid from a solution. The liquid evaporates, is condensed in a condenser, and collected separately. Solids (like salt) remain behind.
Lyrics & Audio
Chorus
Filtration, evaporation, distillation too,
Separation techniques, we’re learning them true!
Crystals form, liquids move, solids stay behind,
Separation science, keep it in your mind!
Verse 1
Filtration takes the insoluble
solid from the liquid flow,
To get a product pure and free,
the leftover chemical go
Chorus
Filtration, evaporation, distillation too,
Separation techniques, we’re learning them true!
Crystals form, liquids move, solids stay behind,
Separation science, keep it in your mind!
Verse 2
Evaporation brings the soluble solid to shine,
Evaporate the solution, let it shrink over time.
Cool it down, the crystals form, ready for filtration line.
Chorus
Filtration, evaporation, distillation too,
Separation techniques, we’re learning them true!
Crystals form, liquids move, solids stay behind,
Separation science, keep it in your mind!
Outro
Distillation separates liquid from the solution scene,
Water from salty water, simple distillation keeps it clean.
Water evaporates, cools, condenses to a separate container,
Salt stays behind, solid and fine, pure water we gather!
Chorus
Filtration, evaporation, distillation too,
Separation techniques, we’re learning them true!
Crystals form, liquids move, solids stay behind,
Separation science, keep it in your mind!

Explanation
Filtration is used to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid.
Filtration removes solid particles from liquids using a filter paper, leaving a clear liquid.
It can obtain products free from unreacted chemicals, by-products or solvent.
This ensures the solid collected is pure and uncontaminated.
Evaporation is used to separate a soluble solid from its solution.
Heating the solution removes the solvent, leaving the dissolved solid behind.
Evaporate to a smaller volume and leave to cool to form crystals.
Reducing the volume concentrates the solution so crystals can form as it cools.
Crystals are collected by filtration.
Solid crystals are separated from the remaining liquid using filtration.
Simple distillation separates a liquid from a solution.
Used to obtain pure liquids from mixtures; relies on boiling point differences.
Water can be separated from salty water by distillation.
The water evaporates, leaving salt behind, then condenses in a separate container.
Water evaporates, cools, condenses, and is collected.
This ensures the collected liquid is pure, free from dissolved solids.
The salt does not evaporate and stays behind.
Solids with high boiling points remain, demonstrating selective separation.
