Question

Which of the following mixtures cannot be separated by using water as solvent followed by filtration and evaporation?

Answer 1

sand and sulphur

sand and sugar etc.......

Answer 2

(i) Mixture of sand and husk: Sand and husk can be separated by the method of winnowing.

(i) Mixture of sand and husk: Sand and husk can be separated by the method of winnowing.(ii) Mixture of wheat, sugar and silk: For separating silk from the mixture we should follow the winnowing method because silk is lighter than other two components and get separated. Wheat and sugar can be separated by sieving because they are in different sizes.

After that using evaporation common salt is separated.
