Introduction

Separating solutions is a project in which two solutions are mixed becoming a homogeneous element. Homogeneous means that there are two solution that become one, like mixing water with sugar. How is it that they will be separated? Well the only way to separate a homogeneous compound is by using force, not physical force but chemical force. The solution has to become immicible to the potassium carbonate. Since in the project ethanol and water are mixed and the two different food coloring there is no way for the colors to split apart or the liquids to separate again within the same container. If evaporation is used the whole liquid itself would disappear and distillation would do similarly the same thing.
