List four methods that can be used to separate mixtures and give an example of each method.

1. Filtration - Example: Separating sand from water.
2. Distillation - Example: Purifying alcohol.
3. Chromatography - Example: Separating pigments in ink.
4. Centrifugation - Example: Separating blood components.

(1) Filtration - example is separating saltwater from sand particles. (2) Distillation - example is apple cider vinegar. Distillation collects the liquid that we want, which is the vinegar and leave out other heavier suspended particles. (3) Centrifuges - example is separating the blood components. They separate the plasma and erythrocytes. (4) Magnetism - example is separating metals from non-metals in electromagnetic cranes, that differentiate between metal and heap of junks.

There are several methods that can be used to separate mixtures, each based on different physical or chemical properties of the substances involved. Here are four methods with examples:
Crystallization: This physical method is based on the solubility of components in a mixture. An example is purifying salt from seawater as the water evaporates, leaving behind salt crystals.
Each of these methods exploits certain physical or chemical properties to achieve separation, such as size, state of matter, boiling point, or chemical reactivity.

Mixtures can be separated using methods such as filtration, distillation, chromatography, and centrifugation, each suitable for specific components based on their physical properties. For instance, filtration separates sand from water, while distillation purifies liquids like alcohol. Chromatography separates ink pigments, and centrifugation effectively isolates components of blood.
