Which of the following techniques can be used to separate a heterogeneous mixture into its component parts?

Sort by color
Separation by density
Apply heat
Apply pressure

Respuesta :

Answer:

                  Separation by density

Explanation:

                    Mixtures are made up of two or more pure substances which tends to keep their individual identities. These components can be separated from each other by different physical techniques.

                    Mixtures are further classified as;

  (i)  Homogenous Mixture:

                                            In this type of the mixtures the components are uniformly mixed and their properties as well as composition as uniform throughout. Such mixtures are also called as solutions.

The physical methods used to separate these components from each other are distillation (taking heat and pressure into account), Solvent extraction, Magnetic separation, Chromatography e.t.c.

  (ii)  Homogenous Mixture:

                                            In this type of the mixtures the components are not uniformly mixed and their physical properties and composition are also not uniform.

The physical methods used to separate these components from each other are Filtration, Magnetic Separation, Centrifugation, Flotation e.t.c.

So, in given options the density can play role by settling the massive components of heterogenous mixture to sit at the bottom and separated

Answer:

Sort by color

Explanation:

I took the test and picked separation by density and it was wrong and I looked at other answers and found sort by color and it was right <3
