Answer:
- sometimes the solid particles in a liquid are very small and passed through a filter paper.
- such mixtures are separated by centrifugation
- the suspended particles of a substance in a liquid can be separated very rapidly by using the method of centrifugation
- centrifugation is a method for separating the suspended particles of a substance from a liquid in which the mixture is rotated at a high speed in a centrifuge
- in this method of centrifugation the mixture of fine suspended particles in a liquid is taken in a test tube called centrifuge tube
- the test tube is placed in a centrifuge machine and rotated rapidly for sometime
- as the mixture rotates rapidly a force acts on the heaviest suspended particles in it and bring them down to the bottom of the test tube
- the clear liquid being lighter remains on the top
- applications
- used in washing machines squeezeout water from the wet clothes
- used for separating cream from milk and butter from curd in diaries or at home
- used in diagnostic laboratories for testing blood or urine
