Question

Which mixtures is not matched properly with its preferred method of separation?

• A. Salt from seawater - Evaporation
• B. Camphor from salt - Sublimation
• C. Colours from dye - Chromatography
• D. Sugar from tea - Filtration

Answer 1

The correct option is D Sugar from tea - Filtration

Salt is separated from seawater when the water evaporates. Camphor directly changes to gaseous state from its solid state, so it can be separated from salt by sublimation. Colours can be separated from dye by the process of chromatography. Sugar is soluble in water, so sugar cannot be separated from tea by filtration.
