Question

Write true or false. Correct the false statement.

The constituents of a mixture can be separated by simple physical means.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• A mixture is formed when atoms or molecules of the same or different particles combine with each other physically.
• For example - Air is a mixture of gases like Carbon dioxide$\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right)$, Nitrogen$\left({\mathrm{N}}_2\right)$, Oxygen$\left({\mathrm{O}}_2\right)$, etc; dust, and Water vapors$\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right(\mathrm{g}\left)\right)$.
• The different substances of which a mixture is made are known as constituents of mixtures or components of mixtures.
• Since there is no chemical bond formation that takes place in the formation of mixtures. Hence, mixtures can be easily separated by some physical means like filtration, sedimentation, centrifugation, etc.

Hence, the given statement is True.
