Question

Divide the mixture into two.place one half of the mixture in a clean bottle cap ( tansan)and heat.

Answer 1

A mixture can contain solids, liquids and/or gases. The components in a mixture are not chemically joined; they are just mixed. That means we do not need to use chemical reactions to separate them. Mixtures can be separated using physical methods alone and that is what this chapter is all about: how to separate mixtures.
