Question

During the process of sedimentation the clear liquid above the settled heavier component is called

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sedimentation is a process of separating large particles of solid from a mixture of solid and liquid under gravity, by leaving the mixture undisturbed for a long time.

The larger and heavier solid particles settles down leaving the clear liquid above it.

Thus, filtration is better than sedimentation and decantation.

Answer 2

Explanation::Sedimentation is a process of separating large particles of solid from a mixture of solid and liquid under gravity, by leaving the mixture undisturbed for a long time. The larger and heavier solid particles settles down leaving the clear liquid above it.  

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.

therefore, filtration is better than segmentation and decantation
