Separation of Mixtures — Quiz

Question 1 • Physical Science

Which mixture can be separated based on differences in the particle size of the components?

Answer
A
perfume
B
carbonated drinks
C
cereal and milk
D
sweetened tea

Explanation

Cereal and milk can be separated by filtering or straining because the cereal pieces are much larger than the milk particles and are trapped by the filter. Perfume and sweetened tea are uniform mixtures, while the carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink is dissolved in the liquid; these are not separated by simply sorting components by particle size.
