• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• The process of settling the heavy solids at the bottom of a mixture is called sedimentation.
• When solid particles present in a liquid are not sufficiently heavy, they do not settle easily.
• This process of improving the settling property of solid particles by the addition of special chemicals such as alum is called coagulation or loading. Alum is said to be a coagulating agent.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
