Separation of Mixtures

Question 3 • GA-GSE Grade 8 Physical Science

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

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

Explanation

Cereal and milk can be separated because the solid cereal pieces are much larger than the liquid milk particles, so a strainer can hold back the cereal while the milk passes through. This separation uses a difference in particle size. Sweetened tea, carbonated drinks, and perfume are more uniform mixtures whose components are not separated this way.
