ACCESS CHEMISTRY UNIT A Practical Assignment - Separating the components of a mixture Introduction Aim: The Aim of this experiment is to separate two compounds in a mixture of Silicon dioxide (sand) and Sodium chloride (salt). Separating and recovering components of a mixture are challenging yet necessary in scientific research and for industrial use. Separation processes, for example, are important in the oil industry as the components of crude oil (including diesel fuel, gasoline, jet fuel, and lubrication oil amongst others) are valuable and in high demand. It is therefore important to understand how to separate components of mixtures. Distilled water is used throughout the experiment due to the nature of the water.
