Question

a solid precipitate is formed from the reaction of lead nitrate and sodium chromate. what would be the best method to separate this solid from the solution? distillation evaporation filtration sorting

Explanation:

Filtration is used to separate a solid - liquid mixture where the solid is insoluble in the liquid. Here, a solid precipitate is in a liquid solution, and filtration can effectively separate the solid from the liquid. Distillation is for separating liquids with different boiling points. Evaporation is mainly for obtaining a dissolved solid from a solution by vaporizing the solvent. Sorting is for separating different solid components based on physical properties like size, color etc., not for solid - liquid separation.

Answer:

C. filtration
