Science Assignment CHAPTER 5 Separation of substances

1. Mention the method of separation for the following mixtures:

1. Separation of husk from wheat.

2. How will you separate the mixture of husk and wheat flour?

2. Choose the correct option:

1. The dust particles in the water can be helped to settle down faster by using.
a. Common salt b. Alum c. Sugar d. Alcohol

2. The process by which the unwanted solid particles are removed from the liquid is
called...
a. Loading b. Filtration c. Sedimentation d. Decantation

3. Common salt is obtained from sea water by the process of

a. Sieving b. Condensation c. Evaporation d. centrifugation
4. The pure substance have fixed

a. Melting point only b. Boiling point only

c. Both melting and boiling point. d. Neither boiling nor boiling point.

3. Match the following:

Column A Column B

a. Separating grains from stones i. Magnetic separation

b. Separating iron from sand ii. Boiling

c. Separating two miscible liquid iii. Hand picking

d. Separating grains from stalk iv. Distillation

e. Killing harmful germ and bacteria in water v. Threshing

4. Fill in the blank with a suitable word.

a) Machine that performs the function of harvesting as well as threshing is called - -------
-
b) Sieving is possible only, when the particles of a mixture are of ------------ size.
c) The process of settling of heavy material at the bottom is called--------------.
d) The clean liquid obtained after filtration is called ----------------.
e) -------------------- is used to separate impurities from suspension.

5. You are asked to dissolve sugar in water. You kept on adding sugar to water till
some of the sugar is not at all dissolving by stirring with the spoon. How can you
dissolve the left out sugar?

6. High order thinking skills:

1. The sample of water collected from a shallow pond has some tiny particles called A
suspended in it. When a piece of substance B tied in a thread is rotated in this sample
of water kept in a beaker, then the suspended particles settle down at the bottom of the
beaker very rapidly. This process is called C. The clear water is then separated from the
settled particles by the technique D.
1. What could be particle A be?
2. Name the substance B.
3. What is the name of process C?
4. Name the technique D.

7. With a help of a diagram show the method of separation of a mixture by

decantation.
