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.
