40.
You are given a mixture of sand and water. How do you separate them?
41.
Can mixture of salt and sugar be separated by filtration?
42.
Name two materials that are used as filters
1.
The process used to separate grain from stalks is called threshing. In this process, the stalks are beaten to free the grain seeds. Sometimes, threshing is done with the help of bullocks. Machines are also used to thresh large quantities of grain.
2.
We should add ice to lemonade after dissolving sugar. Without ice, sugar dissolves easily in lemon of juice because solubility depends on the temperature.
When the temperature is high, then more sugar can be dissolved. After mixing ice, it gets cool and less sugar will dissolve in it.
3.
We will obtain clear water from a sample of muddy water by the process of filtration.
In this process, we use a piece of cloth for filtering muddy water. Because in a piece of cloth, small holes or pores remain in between the woven threads. These pores in a cloth can be used as a filter.
If the water is still muddy, impurities can be separated by a filter paper that has even smaller pores. A filter paper is one such filter that has very fine pores in it. A filter paper folded in the form of a cone is fixed onto a funnel. The mixture is then poured on the filter paper.
Solid particles in the mixture do not pass through it and remain on the filter paper and finally, the clear water is obtained.
4.
We will separate sand and water from their mixture by the process of sedimentation and decantation.
Sedimentation During this process, we leave mixture for some time, after that the sand which is heavier is settled down at the bottom.
Decantation After the above process, water is poured into another vessel and sand is left in first vessel. Thus, sand and water will be separated from their mixture.
5.
Winnowing is used to separate heavier and lighter components of a mixture by wind or by blowing air, e.g. wheat grains and husk are different in weight, husk being lighter than wheat.
When this mixture is allowed to fall down from a height. the wind carries the lighter husk with it and the heavy grains fall vertically down on the ground. This process is used by farmers to separate lighter husk particles from grain.

From prepared tea, we separate tea leaves by using a strainer. Tea leaves are bigger in size than the hole of the mesh.
21.
The process of conversion of water vapour into its liquid form is called condensation.
22.
Handpicking is the method which is used to separate the pieces of stones from grains.
23.
The method to separate each component from the mixture is given below:
(i) Hand picking: It is used to separate iron nails from the mixture.
(ii) Decantation: The mixture is allowed to stand for some time. The clear liquid is poured to another container to separate oil from the mixture.
(iii) Evaporation: The remaining liquid is allowed to evaporate till residue is obtained. This residue is salt.
24.
(a) The process of separation of the lighter particles of a solid from a liquid is known as Churning. It is also known as centrifugation.
