Question

Match the following mixtures with their appropriate separation technique.

• A. Filtration
• B. Evaporation
• C. Sublimation

Answer 1

Filtration is used to separate undissolved solid from liquid using filter medium. Example- Charcoal and water.

Evaporation is a process which separates volatile component from a non-volatile component. Example- Ink mixture contains dye in water, where water is volatile and gets separated by evaporation.

Sublimation is the process which separates sublimable component from a non-sublimable component. Example- A mixture of iodine and sand can be separated by sublimation, as the iodine will undergo sublimation and sand will be left behind.
