Question

The rate of sedimentation is decreased by loading.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Loading

• It is the process of adding some chemicals to an impure liquid to increase the speed of sedimentation of suspended particles present in the liquid.
• Alum $\left(\mathrm{KAl}{\left({\mathrm{So}}_4\right)}_2.12{\mathrm{H}}_{2\mathrm{O}}\right)$ is added to increase the rate of sedimentation.
• This process is also used to remove clay and sand particles from mud water.

So, the rate of sedimentation is not decreased by loading.

Therefore the given statement is false.
