Question 91.


Salt can be separated from seawater by _____.


  1.     winnowing
  2.     sedimentation
  3.     evaporation
  4.     filtration
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> evaporation
:
C
Seawater contains large amounts of common salt. Near the sea-shore, the seawater is collected in shallow pits. In a few days, the water evaporates by absorbing heat from sunrays, leaving behind the salt. This salt is collected and further processed and purified.
Question 92.


Rahul mixed chalk powder in water, but it was floating on the surface. Now he wants to get it back. Which of the following methods can he use?


  1.     Sedimentation
  2.     Filtration
  3.     Sieving
  4.     Condensation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Filtration
:
B
Chalk powder is insoluble in water. It can be separated through filtration using a filter paper. Chalk powder particles can not pass through it. So, it will be collected on filter paper and water in a container placed below.
Question 93.


A solution which cannot dissolve anymore its solute at a specific temperature is called a ____ solution.


  1.     unsaturated
  2.     saturated
  3.     pure
  4.     supersaturated
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> saturated
:
B
A solution is saturated when no more solute can be dissolved in it at a specific temperature.
Question 94.


____________ is used to separate heavier and lighter components of a mixture using wind.


  1.     Threshing
  2.     Sieving
  3.     Handpicking
  4.     Winnowing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Winnowing
:
D
During winnowing the mixture is released from a height. The wind blows away the lighter component while the heavier component falls down. Thus, resulting in the separation of the components of the mixture.
Question 95.


Oil can be separated from water by:


  1.     filtration
  2.     decantation
  3.     threshing
  4.     sedimentation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> decantation
:
B
Decantation is a process to separate a mixture of solid and liquid or immiscible liquids. Oil is much less dense than water. It floats above the surface of water, when mixed together. Thus, they can be separated by decantation easily.
Question 96.


Sand and gravel can be separated from each other by ________. 


  1.     Filter funnel 
  2.     Sieve
  3.     Evaporating basin 
  4.     Decanter 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Sieve
:
B
Sieves are used to separate gravel from sand. Sieving is a simple technique for separating particles of different sizes. Depending upon the types of particles to be separated, sieves with different sizes of holes are used.
Question 97.


Identify the method that can be used to seperate the components of a mixture, when there is a difference in the size of its constituent particles.


  1.     Winnowing
  2.     Sedimentation
  3.     Sieving
  4.     Decantation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Sieving
:
C

Sieving is a method in which two or more components of different sizes are separated from a mixture using a sieve. A sieve has fine pores in it which let small-sized component to pass through it but hold back larger sized components.


Question 98.


 How can we separate an insoluble solid from a liquid?


  1.     Decantation
  2.     Filtration 
  3.     Condensation 
  4.     Evaporation 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Filtration 
:
B
Filtration is a method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid.
For example: When a mixture of sand and water is filtered, the sand stays in the filter paper (residue) while the water passes through the filter paper and gets collected below.
