Solution
The correct option is B
Mixture of a liquid and an insoluble substance
The correct option is option B.
The explanation for the correct option:
A mixture is created by mixing two or more different substances (elements or compounds), not always in a certain ratio.
The components of a mixture do not interact chemically (no chemical reaction occurs). The constituents retain their original properties because there is no chemical reaction taking place, which allows us to physically separate them.
Filtration is a procedure that uses a filter medium to remove solid particles from a mixture of liquid or gas.
The filter holds the solid particles while allowing the fluid to pass through.
Filtrate is the term for the liquid that has passed through the filter, and residue refers to the solid that is left on the filter paper.
The explanation for the incorrect option:
Option (A): Solution
Evaporation is a method for separating mixtures, often solutions of soluble solids in solvents.
By heating the solution, the organic solvent converts into a gas and evaporates, leaving the solid residue behind.
Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option (D): Pure substance
Pure substances are made up of a single type of particle, which may have a fixed or constant structure. These materials are further divided into elements and compounds.
Substances that cannot be divided into simpler ones are known as elements. However, compounds are also pure materials that are created when two or more different elements mix chemically in a fixed ratio of their atoms.
Chemical techniques can be used to separate compounds into further separate components.
Hence, it is an incorrect option
Final answer: Filtration is a method to separate the components of a mixture
