Chapter 3.3, Problem 17SSC

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The separation techniques for the separation of two colorless liquids should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The process in which the separation of components from the mixture of liquid by using the condensation and boiling is known as distillation.

Answer to Problem 17SSC

Two colorless liquids can be separated by distillation.

Explanation of Solution

Two colorless liquids can be separated by distillation process. The liquids can be separated on the bases of their boiling point through the distillation process.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The separation techniques for a mixture of a non dissolving solid and liquid should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The process in which solid can be separated from liquid through a filter medium which only allows the fluid to pass through it but not the solid particles which is known as filtration.

Answer to Problem 17SSC

A non dissolving solid is mixed with liquid can be separated by filtration.

Explanation of Solution

The non-dissolving solid mixed with a liquid can be separated through a filtration process. As filtration only allows the liquid to pass through filter paper and the solid retain on the filter paper.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The separation techniques for mixture of red and blue marbles of same size and mass should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The process in which separation of physical parts is done by hands is known as manual separation.

Answer to Problem 17SSC

The red and blue marbles of same size and mass is separted by manual separation.

Explanation of Solution

The red and blue marbles which have same size and mass can be separated through manual separation by separating the marbles through their colors.
