4: Extraction
4.3: Uses of Extraction There are several reasons to use extraction in the chemistry lab. It is a principal method for isolating compounds from plant materials. Extraction moves compounds from one liquid to another, so that they can be more easily manipulated or concentrated. It also enables the selective removal of components in a mixture.
Chemical and physical properties of minerals
Minerals have definite crystalline structures and chemical compositions that give them unique sets of physical and chemical properties shared by all samples of that mineral. For example, all specimens of halite have the same hardness, the same density, and break in a similar manner.
