Advertisements
Solution
Two processes are involved in separation of sodium chloride and sand, i.e., filtration followed by evaporation. The mixture of sodium chloride and sand can be separated by the following method:
- Take the mixture of sodium chloride and sand in a china dish. Pour some water in the mixture of sodium chloride and sand.
- After few seconds, all the sodium chloride will dissolve in water but sand will not.
- Then pour the contents of the container in a funnel fitted with a filter paper.
- Sand remains on the paper as residue and sodium chloride dissolved in water passes through it to the funnel.
- Now put the salt solution of the funnel on heat. Water starts getting evaporated leaving salt as residue in the funnel.
- Remove the funnel from heat.

Three mixtures A, B and C are obtained by stirring three different solids in water taken in separate beakers. When mixture A is allowed to stand for some time, then its particles settle at the bottom of the beaker. When a beam of light is passed through mixture A in a dark room, the path of light becomes visible when observed from the side of the beaker. When mixture B is allowed to stand for a considerable time, even then its particles do not settle down. Mixture B, however, scatters the beam of light just like mixture A. The particles of mixture C do not settle down on keeping and it also does not scatter a beam of light passing through it.
