Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of decantation?

To separate a liquid from a gas in a homogeneous mixture

To separate a solid from a liquid in a homogeneous mixture

To separate a solid from another solid in a heterogeneous mixture

To separate a liquid from a dense, insoluble solid in a heterogeneous mixture (correct)

Which of the following would not be a suitable method for decantation?

Allowing the solid particles to settle to the bottom of the container

Slowly pouring off the liquid, leaving the solid residue behind

Using a glass rod to assist in the pouring of the liquid

Stirring the mixture vigorously before pouring off the liquid (correct)

Why would decantation not be a useful method for separating fine silt particles from water?
