Option 4 : Sublimation

Concept :

Methods of separation :

  • Some common methods of separation of materials are handpicking, winnowing, threshing, sieving, sedimentation, decantation, and filtration.

Explanation :

Separation of a mixture of chalk and water:

  • The mixture is slightly tilted in the glass without disturbing the water.
  • The water from the top flow into another glass 
  • It is filtered with the help of filter paper.
  • The mixture is then poured onto the filter paper.
  • Solid particles in the mixture do not pass through it and remain on the filter.
  • This process is called filtration.
  • Then the heavier component (chalk) in a mixture settles after water is added to it, the process is called sedimentation.
  • Then the water (along with the chalk) is removed, and the process is called decantation.

​So, the correct answer is sublimation.

  • For example, oil and water from their mixture can be separated by this process.
  • If a mixture of such liquids is allowed to stand for some time, they form two separate layers.
  • The component that forms the top layer can then be separated by decantation.
  • Sublimation is the process of changing the solid state directly to a gaseous state.
