Question

Which of the following mixtures would you be able to separate using the method of filtration?​

• A. Oil in water​
• B. Cornflakes in milk​
• C. Salt in water​
• D. Sugar in milk​

Answer 1

The correct option is B Cornflakes in milk​

The filtration method is used for separating insoluble solid particles from the liquid. But the mixture of two liquids, such as oil in water cannot be separated by this method.​

Also, salt in water, and sugar in milk, can not be separated by filtration, as salt is soluble in water, and sugar is soluble in milk.​

So, cornflakes in milk can only be separated by filtration.​
