What types of matter could be separated by physical methods?

I believe the correct answer to this question is:

“Mixtures”

By definition, mixtures are combination of substances which are not really chemically combined and hence separable by physical means. There are two types of mixtures, homogeneous and heterogeneous, both are also separable by physical means.

This is as opposed to Compounds which are chemically bonded and cannot be separated by physical means.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.

warm front forms when a moist, warm air mass slides up and over a cold air mass. as the warm air mass rises, it condenses into a broad area of clouds. a warm front brings gentle rain or light snow, followed by warmer, milder weather.
