Which method is used for the separation of these mixture? a) kerosene and Water b) Ammonium chloride and sand c) Acetone and Water d) Components from dyes e) Methanol and ethanol.
Answers
Answer:
a) Separating funnel is used to separate the mixture of two immiscible liquids. Kerosene oil and water do not mix with each other and form two separate layers. The mixture separates into two layers according to their densities.
b)Sublimation is used to separate a mixture of sand and ammonium chloride. Sublimation is a separation process that entails heating a mixture of solids, where one of the solids transitions from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state.
c)Distillation.
Additional information: The decantation technique is used when one of the substances in the immiscible mixture is heavier than the other. Such that the heavier substance settles down at the bottom and the water can be removed.
d)Chromatography is a technique used for the separation of components of coloured mixtures.
e) Fractional distillation is used to separate the mixture of ethanol and methanol.
