Separation Techniques Worksheet

The document is a worksheet about separation techniques that contains true/false questions, short answer questions, and a diagram labeling exercise. Some key points are: - Filtration can produce pure liquid filtrates, distillation is required to obtain drinking water from seawater, and fractional distillation separates miscible liquids with different boiling points. - Techniques like filtration, distillation and chromatography can be used to separate mixtures like muddy water, crude oil, leaves in a pool, or sugars from solutions. - A simple distillation diagram shows the distillation of a liquid P, with the distillate collected in a receiver to obtain a pure substance.
