I therefore conclude that thru this experiment we learned that separating components of
mixtures is very important for chemists who need to use essentially pure substance in some
experiments. Separating components of mixture may be accomplished by using physical processes
since pure substances have different physical properties. A component of mixture maybe
separated thru distillation wherein the liquid mixture is boiled, capturing and cooling the
resultant hot vapors and, and condensing the collected vapors. We can see the processes of
distillation at water stations that distills water, like for example the bottled water Wilkinǯs.
Another means is by filtration wherein it is used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or
gases) by interposing a medium through which only the fluid can pass. Oversize solids in the fluid
are retained, but the separation is not complete; solids will be contaminated with some fluid and
filtrate will contain fine particles (depending on the pore size and filter thickness). Filtration is
very important in chemistry for the separation of materials of different chemical composition.
Filtration is used to separate particles and fluid in a suspension, where the fluid can be a liquid,
a gas or a supercritical fluid. Depending on the application, either one or both of the components
may be isolated. Filtration is commonly used for liquids. A solvent is chosen which dissolves one
component, while not dissolving the other. By dissolving the mixture in the chosen solvent, one
component will go into the solution and pass through the filter, while the other will be retained.
This is one of the most important techniques used by chemists to purify compounds. There are
examples of filtration that can be seen on familiar places like coffee shops, it is when we drink
coffee wherein a coffee filter is used to keep the coffee separate from the grounds. While in the
laboratory, a Büchner funnel is often used, with a filter paper serving as the porous barrier to
separate components of a mixture. There are a lot of common separations used by chemists to
separate components of mixture, this are selective dissolution, evaporation, sublimation and
distillation. In this activity/experiment we used filtration, evaporation and sublimation to
separate components of different mixtures.

 I therefore conclude that thru this experiment number six we learned that the periodic
law states that many of the physical and chemical properties of the elements tend to recur in a
systematic manner with increasing atomic number. Progressing from the lightest to the heaviest
atoms, certain properties of the elements approximate those of precursors at regular intervals of 2,
8, 18, and 32. For example, the 2d element (helium) is similar in its chemical behavior to the 10th
(neon), as well as to the 18th (argon), the 36th (krypton), the 54th (xenon), and the 86th (radon).
The chemical family called the halogens, composed of elements 9 (fluorine), 17 (chlorine), 35
(bromine), 53 (iodine), and 85 (astatine), is an extremely reactive family. And through this
experiment, we were able to relate the trend in the atomic radius of the elements in the periodic
table with some of their physical and chemical properties. It also tells us that the elements have a
pattern as shown by the experiment. We were also able to describe the variation in the atomic
radius of the elements within the period. In addition to this, we were also able to identify the
group of elements in the periodic table that has the greatest atomic size differ it from the smallest
size. With this experiment also we were able to identify what does Beryllium, Magnesium,
Calcium and Strontium has in common in terms of electrons. We have also named the elements
in the same row, and column with Lithium, Nitrogen, Flourine and Neon.
