Question

During decantation, the liquid that collects
on top should be poured into another
container slowly and carefully. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is so because it can be used to separate even smaller solid particles, which may not completely settle down with sedimentation. At the same time, during decantation, there is a chance of the particles mixing back in the liquid.

Answer 2

Heyy

Explanation:

This is so because it can be used to separate even smaller solid particles, which may not completely settle down with sedimentation. At the same time, during decantation, there is a chance of the particles mixing back in the liquid.

Decantation is a method which follows sedimentation. Once the solid has completely settled down, the clear liquid above is poured out leaving behind the insoluble heavy solid particles.

Hope this helps
