Question

3. Identify the method of separation

iii. soil and water

Answer 1

In nature, all substances are not found in their purest form. The majority of the chemicals are found in mixes. Various separation procedures can be used to separate beneficial components of mixtures.

• Filtration is used to separate soil and water in this procedure. The liquid is carefully poured into a funnel lined with filter paper. The solid component, in this case, soil, is left on the filter paper as a residue, while the liquid component, in this case, water, passes down the funnel into a beaker below as the filtrate. To dry out, the moist filter paper is gently put on a watch glass. After that, gently scrape the solid soil off the paper.
