Separating Mixtures: Techniques and Methods

The video tutorial explains the differences between mixtures and compounds, highlighting that mixtures consist of elements or compounds not chemically combined. It covers five separation techniques: filtration, crystallization, distillation, fractional distillation, and chromatography. Each method is described in detail, focusing on their processes and applications in separating components based on physical properties like solubility and boiling points.
