Question

What type of Mixtures can be separated by Sedimentation and decantation?5 examples?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In a mixture of sand and water, the heavier sand particles settle down at the bottom and the water can be separated bydecantation. Filtration can be used to separate components of amixture of an insoluble solid and a liquid.

Answer 2

In a mixture of sand and water, the heavier sand particles settle down at the bottom and the water can be separated by decantation. Filtration can be used to separate components of a mixture of an insoluble solid and a liquid.

A common example is decantation of oil and vinegar. When a mixture of the two liquids is allowed to settle, the oil will float on top of the water so the two components may be separated. Kerosene and water can also be separated using decantation.
