Question

3. Name the methods of separation used to separate these mixtures. a. Sugar solution b. Sawdust and sand C. Buttons and coins d. Sand and water e. Sand, salt and water​

Answer 1

• Here we will first do the sedimentation process. Because of this, the sawdust being the heavier particle gets settled at the bottom of the container along with sand.

• The mixture is then separated from sawdust and sand by filtration.

• After filtration, we will get a mixture of water and salt.

• This mixture is then separated by using evaporation. During evaporation, the water molecules get evaporated leaving behind only salt particles.
