Question

how can we separate the components of a compound​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can do that by hand picking, sieving, threshing, winnowing, sedimentation, decantation, filtration, evaporation and condensation...

Answer 2

When one compound is dissolved in another, or when two liquids are mixed together, the most commonly used method to separate them is distillation. In a distillation, the mixture is slowly heated over a Bunsen burner or hotplate.
