Question

Sedimentation is followed by decantation in the separation of solid-liquid mixtures.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. When an insoluble solid is mixed with a liquid, the solid substance being heavier settles down at the bottom under the effect of gravity.
2. After some time, the liquid is poured into another beaker and separated from the solid insoluble substance. This process is called decantation.

Thus, the given statement is true i.e. sedimentation is followed by decantation in the separation of solid-liquid mixtures.
