The principle is that immiscible liquids separate out in layers depending on their densities. Activity • Let us try to separate kerosene oil from water using a separating funnel.• Pour the mixture of kerosene oil and water in a separating funnel .• Let it stand undisturbed for sometime so that separate layers of oil and …

The solid particles in a liquid are very small and pass through a filter paper.For such particles the filtration technique cannot be used for separation. Such mixtures are separated by centrifugation. The principle is that the denser particles are forced to the bottom and the lighter particles stay at the top when spun rapidly. • …
We find that ink is a mixture of a dye in water. Thus, we can separate the volatile component (solvent) from its non-volatile solute by the method of evaporation. Separation process : . • Fill half a beaker with water.• Put a watch glass on the mouth of the beaker .• Put few drops of …

Alloys: Alloys are mixtures of two or more metals or a metal and a non-metal and cannot be separated into their components by physical methods. But still, an alloy is considered as a mixture because it shows the properties of its constituents and can have variable composition. For example, brass is a mixture of approximately …
The particles of a colloid are uniformly spread throughout the solution. Due to the relatively smaller size of particles, as compared to that ofa suspension, the mixture appears to be homogeneous. But actually, a colloidal solution is a heterogeneous mixture, for example, milk. Because of the small size of colloidal particles, we cannot see them …
Non-homogeneous systems, in which solids are dispersed in liquids, are called suspensions. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. Particles of a suspension are visible to the naked eye. Properties of a Suspension• Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.• The …
Solution: Mass of solute (salt) = 40 gMass of solvent (water) = 320 gWe know,Mass of solution = Mass of solute +Mass of solvent= 40 g + 320 g= 360 gMass percentage of solution= Mass of solute / Mass of solution ×100 = 40/ 360 ×100 =11.1%
