How is cream separated from milk ?

Short/Brief Note
Advertisements

Solution

Cream is separated from milk by the process of centrifugation. It is the process of separating the suspended particles from a liquid. The mixture is rotated at high speed in a centrifuge.
When milk is centrifuged, the cream and skimmed milk are separated. Cream, being lighter, starts floating on the skimmed milk and hence, can be separated.

Which of the following does not have a fixed melting point/boiling point ?


A, B and C are all liquids. Liquid A has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid A vaporises completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid A is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid B has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid B is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid C has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid C vaporises leaving behind a white solid D which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from C give a liquid E which turns anhydrous CuSO4 to blue.
