One of the following mixtures cannot be separated by the three steps: stirring with water, filtration and evaporation, applied one after the other. This mixture is most likely to be that of:
Important Questions on Separation of Substances
(a) What could the particles A be?
(b) Name the substance B.
(c) What is the name of process C?
(d) Name the technique D.

(b) Name the liquid which Q could be.
(c) What name is given to the solid left on the filter paper?
(d) What name is given to the clear liquid collected in the beaker?
A mixture contains two components W and X. The component W is a white solid which is soluble in water. It is obtained on a large scale from sea-water by the process Y. The component X consists of tiny pieces called filings which can be attracted and removed from the mixture by a device Z.
(a) What do you think is component W?
(b) Name the process Y.
(c) Name the component X.
(d) What could the device Z be?
Component A dissolves in component B to form a liquid mixture. If this mixture is subjected to a process C, then only component A can be recovered. But if this mixture is subjected to another process D, then both the components A and B can be recovered from their mixture.
(a) Name one component which could be like A.
(b) Give one example of a component like B.
(c) Name the process C.
(d) What could process D be?
