Question
How will you separate a mixture containing sand and sugar ?

Solution
We will use filtration to separate a mixture of sand and sugar. Sugar dissolves in water but sand does not. These properties of sugar and sand allow them get separated by filtration.
In filtration, suspension can be filtered using a filter paper leaving sand as residue on the filter paper. Now, the filtrate contains sugar only. Sugar can further be recovered from the filtrate.

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.

100 mL of water at room temperature of 25°C is taken in a beaker and a little of solid S is dissolved in it by stirring to obtain a solution X. More and more of solid S is added to the solution with constant stirring, while keeping the temperature of solution constant at 30°C. After some time it is observed that no more solid dissolves in water and at the same time some solid is also left undissolved at the bottom of the beaker.

- What name is given to solutions like Y ?
