Week 2

This document provides a weekly lesson log for a General Chemistry 1 class covering methods of separating mixtures. The learning targets are to explain different separation methods, select appropriate methods for given mixtures, and develop separation skills. The lesson includes concept notes on various separation techniques like filtration, distillation, decantation, evaporation, and centrifugation. It then describes practice exercises separating mixtures like muddy water, salt water, nuts, and oil and water. Students are asked questions to understand the mixtures and separation processes.

GENERAL CHEMISTRY 1
(Weekly Lesson Log)
Lesson Title: Methods of Separating Mixtures
Learning Target/s:
 Explain the different method of separating mixtures;
 Select the appropriate method to separate the given mixtures based upon the information
available about the components of the mixture;
 Develop skills of using various techniques to separate mixtures
Type of Activity: concept notes and experimentation

I. Concept Notes:

Title of Lesson to be Discussed

SEPARATION TECHNIQUES - used to separate mixtures into its constituent elements


and/or compounds.

1. Filtration – is a process wherein a solid-in-liquid or solid-in-gas sample is pass


through a filter.
2. Distillation – is a process wherein a liquid solution is boiled and its vapour is
collected.
3. Decantation – process involves pouring clear, upper liquid out of the container,
without disturbing the sediment.
4. Evaporation - in the case which we do not need to collect the solvent.
5. Mechanical Separation – This involves the use of forceps, sieves, magnet and other
similar tools to separate the components of mixtures.
6. Centrifugation – It is a process that uses a motor device known as centrifuge that
speeds up the settling of the precipitate using centrifugal or rotating motion
7. Chromatography – This process uses the difference in the degrees to which
substances are absorbed on the surface of an inert substance such as filter paper.
8. Electrolysis – This chemical decomposition or breakdown produced by passing an
electric current through a liquid or solution containing ions.
II. Learning Experiences

A. Practice Exercises
Different types of matter can be combined to form mixtures. Thanks to the physical properties of matter
such as size, shape, and density, mixtures can also be separated back into their different kinds of
matter. 
Problem: How are the components of mixtures separated?
Materials:
4 Plastic Cups
Cloth and rubber band
Small cauldron
Salt
Water as required
Oil

A. Separation of muddy water


1. Pour some muddy water into the plastic cups.
2. Prepare a cloth and
3. Set the cloth into the mouth of the plastic cups and secure it using rubber bands.
4. Slowly pour the mixture to be filtered through the cloth.
Questions:
1. What kind of mixture do you have?
2. What are the different components of your mixture?

B. Separation of Salt and Water

1. Prepare a salt solution by dissolving salt in one cup of water. Make sure that the salt is fully dissolved.
2. Place the salt solution in a small cauldron (kaldero). Do not cover it with lid.
3. Put it in a stove. Boil it over a low heat until the water evaporates and the salt remains in the cauldron
Questions:
1. What kind of mixture do you have?
2. What are the different components of your mixture?

C. Separation of Nuts

1. Prepare a mixture of different nuts.


2. Separate the component of mixture by using your hands.
Questions:
1. What kind of mixture do you have?
2. What are the different components of your mixture?

D. Separation of Oil and Water

1. Mix oil in a 50 ml of water. Let it stand for a few minutes until oil floats on top of the water.
2. Pour off the oil in another plastic cups.

Questions:
1. What kind of mixture do you have?
2. What are the different components of your mixture?
B. Guide Questions
1. Why is it easier to separate the parts of a heterogeneous mixture than the parts of a
homogeneous mixture?
2. Why is the size of the holes in a filter important for filtration?
3. Which part or parts of a solution does evaporation recover; the solute, the solvent, or both?
4. Which part or parts of a solution does distillation recover; the solute, the solvent, or both?
5. Give two examples of mixture that can be separated by evaporation.
6. Give two examples of mixture that can be separated by decantation.
7. Give two examples of mixture that can be separated by physical manipulation.
8. Give an example of mixture that can be separated by chromatography.

C. Synthesis

Design and build a separating machine that will separate a mixture of three substances. Create a
brochure to advertise your separating machine that includes:

(a) The name of your separating machine


(b) A diagram of the machine
(c) Information on what mixture your machine will separate
(d) Instructions for how to use it
(e) An explanation of why it works
(f) The advantages that your machine has for its particular use

D. Reflection

properly and correctly.
