Separation of Mixtures

Question 2 • GA-GSE Grade 8 Physical Science

In which situation will screening be used to separate a mixture?

Answer
A
if the mixture is a solid suspended in a gas
B
if the components have different boiling points
C
if the mixture is a solid dissolved in a liquid
D
if the components have different colors

Explanation

Screening separates solid particles from a gas by catching the solid while the gas passes through the screen. Different boiling points are used for distillation, and a dissolved solid is usually separated by evaporation or crystallization. Different colors alone do not describe a screening method.
