Best answer

(a) FILTRATION : Glass and sugar on dissolving in water and filtering, glass separates out as residue on the filter paper. Filtrate of sugar solution is heated to remove water by evaporation, sugar is collected as crystals.

(b) MAGNETIC SEPERATION : With the help of a magnet, iron filings can be separated leaving behind chalk powder.

(c) WINNOWING : It separates chaff (lighter) from heavier grains in two different heaps.

(d) EVAPORATION : This method is used to separate the components of a homogeneous solid-liquid mixture, like salt from sea water. Sea water is collected in shallow beds and allowed to evaporate in the sun. When all the water is evaporated, salt is left behind.

(e) EVAPORATION : Wheat and sugar are put in water in a beaker. Sugar dissolves and mixture is passed through strainer and separated and dried. Sugar is obtained by evaporating sugar solution.

(f) SUBLIMATION : Camphor sublimes on heating leaving behind sand.

(g) CRYSTALLISATION : Pure sugar is obtained from its solution in water by the process of crystallisation. At first the sugar solution is heated to evaporate Water at a faster speed. When very less of water is left the solution is cooled. On cooling sugar dissolved in it starts separating out in the form of crystals.
