A mixture of salt, sand, oil and water can be separated by following steps:
Step I : First of all, the clear liquid is poured into another container by the process of decantation. By this process, oil is separated from the mixture.
Step II : Now filter the mixture by using filter paper, funnel and container by the process of filtration. By this process, sand is separated from the mixture
Step III : Finally, the remaining liquid evaporates till the residue in obtained by the process of evaporation. By this process, salt is separated from the mixture.

The shadow of the object cannot be caught if the screen and the object are very far from each other. This is the same case, the shadow of the football cannot be seen on the ground when it is kicked high in the air.

A snake form loops in its body while slithering. Each loop of the snake gives it a forward push by pressing against the ground.

(a) This is done as follows:
(i) Some water is added to the mixture of sand and salt in a beaker and stirred. Salt dissolves in water to form salt solution, whereas sand remains undissolved. It is then filtered.
(ii) On filtering, sand is obtained as a residue on the filter paper and salt solution is obtained as a filtrate. (iii) The filtrate is evaporated and pure salt is left behind.
(b) The mixture of sand and salt has been separated into its components, i.e sand and salt by doing two methods.
(i) Filtration
(ii) Evaporation
(c) Rohit is knowledgeable and intelligent boy.
19.
