Separating Mixtures Quiz

This method is used to separate solid substances from fluids by passing a mixture through a porous material such as filter paper, surgical mask, or a cloth.

• filtration

• sedimentation and decantation

• distillation

• crystallization or evaporation

This method allows the sediments to settle at the bottom of the container which the supernatant water is slowly poured out without disturbing the sediments.

• sedimentation and decantation

• distillation

• filtration

• crystallization or evaporation

It is done by allowing the liquid to evaporate, leaving the soluble solids behind.

• sedimentation and decantation

• distillation

• filtration

• crystallization or evaporation

It is the method used to separate mixtures with different boiling points.
