Only heterogeneous mixtures can be separated by centrifugation?

Solution

Dear student
Yes Centrifugation can separate heterogeneous mixtures. This is because in centrifugation, centrifugal force is applied which separates the dense components from the remaining solution . As a heterogeneous mixture contains a non-uniform phase of solution which can be separated by causing the solid to settle down and making separation possible.
