Question

Name the method of separation used to separate cream from milk.

Answer 1

To separate cream from milk, we can use centrifugation.

This method forces (the mixture which is taken in a centrifuge tube) denser particles to move down and lighter particles to move up when rotated using a centrifugal machine.

When milk is centrifuged this way for 20 minutes, the cream can be separated.

Therefore, centrifugation is used to separate cream from milk.
