Separation of Components of a Mixture
Separation of Components of a Mixture: Overview
In this topic, we will study separation methods of two components in a matter. It highlights evaporation, filtration, and separation of immiscible liquids using separating funnels, sublimation, chromatography, distillation, and fractional distillation.
