Question

Which of the following statement is true

Tea leaves from tea can be separated by evaporation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Evaporation: It is the process of separating any substance from its solution by removing water.
2. For example, it is used to separate soluble components like common salt from the salt solution.
3. Filtration: It is technically defined as the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid, by causing the latter to pass through the pores of a membrane, called a filter.
4. It is used to separate insoluble solids in a liquid.
5. For example, it is used to separate sand from the mixture of sand and water.
6. Tea leaves from tea cannot be separated by evaporation but they can be separated using filtration.
7. As tea leaves are the insoluble solid component and the component left is tea.
8. To separate them a strainer is used, after filtering i, tea leaves remain as residue and tea come out as a filtrate.

Hence the given statement is false.
