Question

(a) State the principle used in seperation by centrifugation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The centrifuge works using the sedimentation principle, where the centripetal acceleration causes denser substances and particles to move outward in the radial direction. At the same time, objects that are less dense are displaced and move to the center.

Answer 2

Answer:

● Centrifugation is based on the difference in the density of the particles of the components of a mixture.

● The principle is that the denser particles are forced to the bottom and the lighter particles stay at the top when spun rapidly.
