Science Separating Mixtures

Match up the method with its description.

AB
filtrationseparating a mixture by straining it through a material with tiny holes - liquid passes through and the larger particles are trapped
evaporationseparating a mixture by allowing a liquid to evaporate, leaving behind the solid particles
distillationheating a mixture of liquides with 2 different boiling points - 1 liquid boils off first leaving the other behind
magnetic separationusing a magnet to remove a magnetic material like iron
decantingpouring off a liquid leaving behind a solid or another liquid
centrifugingseparating a liquid mixture by spinning a container- the heaviest liquids go to the bottom
Mixturea combination of elements and compounds
Homogeneous mixturesubstances are evenly mixed(don't separate or scatter)
Heterogeneous mixturesubstances are not evenly mixed (will separate)
solubilityhow well solids dissolve in a solution
soluteare the solids in a solution
solventis the liquid in a solution
factors can affect solubilityparticle size, temperature of solvent, stirring the mixture
