Question 21. The mixture of dry leaves and sand can be separated by the process of :
  1.    Threshing
  2.    Winnowing
  3.    Sieving 
  4.    Hand picking 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Sieving 
:
C
Sand is inpowdered form. So by using a sieve of proper pore size, the mixture of dry leaves can be separated from sand by the process ofsieving. Here, the sand particles would pass through the sieve leaving the leaves on top of it.
Question 22. Which process is used to separate a soluble solid from a solution?
  1.    Filtration
  2.    Evaporation
  3.    Melting 
  4.    Sieving
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Evaporation
:
B
Evaporation is used to separate a soluble solid from a liquid. For example, if we boil a saltwater solution, the water will evaporate and the salt will be left behind.
Question 23. When we heat a solution, it can dissolve more amount of a substance in it.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Handpicking
  4.    Winnowing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Heating the solution increases the solubility of solute in it. In other words,on heating more amount of a substance can be dissolved inthe same solution. For example, more amount of sugar can be dissolved in hot water as compared to water at room temperature.
Question 24. Two or more substances which are not chemically combined but only mixed together form a ________.
  1.    residue
  2.    compound
  3.    distillate
  4.    mixture
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> mixture
:
D
A mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances. These are not combined chemically. The components retain their individual properties even after forming a mixture.
Question 25. _____ method is used to separate scrap-iron from other wastes in the scrap yard. 
  1.    Sublimation 
  2.    Magnetic separation 
  3.    Handpicking 
  4.    Winnowing 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Magnetic separation 
:
B
Magnetic separation is a method in which magnetic particles are separated out from a mixture using a magnet.
Iron gets attracted to the magnet because of its magnetic nature. So, it can be easily separated from the waste material.
Question 26. The mixture of dry leaves and sand can be separated using threshing. 
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    filtration
  4.    evaporation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
In threshing, the mixture is beaten in order to separate, but this principle cannot be applied here. Driedleaves are very light inweight andcan be easily flown out by air. So,they can be easilyseparated from the sand by winnowing.
Question 27. Which technique involves throwing the mixture into the air so that the wind blows away the lighter chaff, while the heavier grains fall back down for recovery?
  1.    Threshing
  2.    Sieving
  3.    Handpicking
  4.    Winnowing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Winnowing
:
D
In winnowing, the mixture is tilted slowly from some height. Thus, the heavier element slides down while the lighter element is flown out by the action of wind.
Question 28. The husk can be removed from flour by the process of :
  1.    Threshing
  2.    Sieving
  3.    Handpicking
  4.    Winnowing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Sieving
:
B
Fine particles are separated from the bigger particles by using a sieve. Since flour is in powdered form and husk are solid particles, so sieving is used to separate them.
Question 29. Water can dissolve a large number of substances. But in a fixed amount of water, different amounts are dissolved for different substances.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Handpicking
  4.    Winnowing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
In a fixed amount of water, different amounts are dissolved for different substances. This is so because different substances are made from different atoms, ions or molecules, which interact with water in different ways.
For example, amount of salt dissolved is different from the amount of sugar dissolved in the same amount of water.
Question 30. In villages, we see women separating the grains from the chaff by throwing the grains from a certain height to fall back into a vessel. What is this process called? Explain. [3 MARKS]
In Villages, We See Women Separating The Grains From The Cha...
 Discuss Question

:
Process name: 1 Mark
Explanation: 2 Marks
This process is called Winnowing.

It is one of the methods used to separate heavier and lighter components of a mixture.
The mixture is exposed to blowing wind.The wind blowsaway the lighter materials,while the heavier parts fall back for recovery, hence separating the two substances of a mixture
