Answer» (A) Evaporation : Water will evaporate leaving behind sodium chloride. (b) Sublimation : Ammonium chloride will be collected as sublimate. (c ) Filtration : Pieces of metal can be separated by filtration. (d) Chromatography : Pigments (coloured components) from the extract of flower plants can be separated by chromatography. (e) Centrifugation : Butter will get separated upon centrifugation. (f) Separating funnel : Oil and water can be separated by the use of separating funnel. (g) Filtration : Upon filtration through a sieve, tea leaves will be collected on the sieve. (h) Magnetic separation : A magnet will attract iron pins and not sand particles. (i) Sieving : Wheat grains from husk can be separated with the help of sieve. (f) Sedimentation : As a result of sedimentation, mud particles will settle as precipitate. It can be separated later on by filtration. |
