Distillation is a separation technique that takes advantage of the boiling point properties of disparate elements in a mixture. To perform distillation, …
Recrystallization is a purification technique used to separate impurities from solid compounds. In this technique, no chemical reactions occur. Instead, …
Crystallization is a phase transformation process in which crystals are precipitated from a supersaturated solution or formed from other sources. During …
The distribution law or Nernst's distribution law is the law that governs the distribution of a solute between two immiscible solvents. This law, also …
Chromatography is a technique used to separate compounds based on differences of partitioning between two phases, the stationary phase and the mobile …
Sublimation is the direct phase transformation from the solid to the gaseous phase, bypassing the liquid state.
For example, solid carbon dioxide, or dry …
Precipitation and coprecipitation techniques can be applied to separate a mixture of ions.
When different ions form sparingly soluble salts with the same …
Coagulation is the agglomeration of colloidal particles to form larger aggregates.
This technique is applied to purify wastewater containing suspended …
During electrodeposition, ions are separated from a solution by deposition on an electrode in an electrolytic cell.
While reduction occurs at the cathode …
Volatilization separates a desired component, known as an analyte, from the other compounds in a sample by converting it to a volatile species through …
In sexual reproduction, a male gamete or sperm cell fuses with a female gamete to bring about fertilization. However, a large number of sperm cells with …
