Question

describe sedimentation and decantation what kind of mixtures can be separated by decantation

Answer 1

A mixture of an insoluble solid in liquid is allowed to stand. If the solid is more dense than the liquid it will settle at the bottom if kept undisturbed for some time. This process is calledsedimentation. ... Similarly a mixtureof two immiscible liquids can also beseparated by decantation.
