Interpretation: The technique that separates the component of a mixture based on the size of its particles is to be identified.
Concept introduction: The combination of two or more component in any ratio is termed as mixture. There are commonly four methods to separate the mixture of two compounds.
- Filtration
- Distillation
- Evaporation
- Chromatography
Answer to Problem 16STP
The technique that separates the component of a mixture based on the size of its particles is filtration. Therefore, option (A) is the correct option.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: The separation method that is used to separate out the component of mixture on the basic of its particle size is termed as filtration. The size of the particle varies as the type of mixture. Therefore, there is one filter for large size particle and another for size of the particle order of 1 micron and so on.
Therefore, the technique that separates the component of a mixture based on the size of its particles is filtration. Therefore, option (A) is the correct option.
Reason for incorrect option: The technique that separates the component of a mixture based on the size of its particles is filtration. So, B, C, D and E are incorrect options.
