Question

A mixture contains nitre, common salt and silver chloride as the components. The different separation techniques involved are ______, ________ and _______.

• A. solvent extraction, filteration
• B. fractional crystallization.

Answer 1

Solvent Extraction $\Rightarrow$ In this process a compound can transfer from one solvent to another between these two immiscible solvents.

For Eg. $\Rightarrow$Extraction of benzene from naphtha.

Filtration $\Rightarrow$ In this process a porous material is used which allows small particles to go through & act as a barrier for the particles of big size.

For Eg.- a mixture of clay & water.

Fractional Crystallization $\Rightarrow$ It is a method used for separating a mixture of two solids.

For Eg. $\Rightarrow$ This process is used in oil refineries to separate crude oil.

By using the given separation techniques we can separate the mixture of nitre, common salt and silver chloride.

A mixture contains nitre, common salt and silver chloride as the components. The different separation techniques involved are solvent extraction, filtration and fractional distillation.
