Answer 2

Some five mixtures that can be separated through the process of decantation or sedimentation​ are:

Oil and water

Dirt and water

Kerosene and water

Milk and cream

Precipitate from supernate

Explanation

• Oil and water: The oil is floating in the water. After placing the mixture of oil and water, the oil can be poured from the water. Water can be drained from the oil with a separatory funnel.

• Dirt and water: Decantation is one way to purify muddy water. Clearwater is poured out as the soil and debris sink to the bottom. Some particles are too light to sink in dirt and cannot be completely cleaned by decanting the water.
• Kerosene and water: Kerosene or gasoline is floating on the surface of the water. Transferring this liquid is dangerous as the fuel evaporates and produces flammable and toxic smoke.
• Milk and cream: The decantation separates the cream from the milk. The cream rises to the top of the liquid and can be easily scooped out.
• Precipitate from supernate:  Decantation uses a chemical reaction to separate the precipitate from the supernatant to produce a solid product. Decantation may be preferred over filtration to separate small particles from the liquid.
