Question

Centrifugation is used for separating heterogeneous mixtures.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Centrifugation is defined as the method of separation of solids from liquids, where the mixture is homogeneous. The mixture to be separated is placed in the centrifuge and rotated at a very high speed. Due to this rotation, the heavier solid particles move towards the bottom and the lighter solid particles float on the liquid. Therefore, this results in separation of substances which have different densities.
