Question

which of these mixtures would best separate using distillation? solid sugar and salt honey and tea sand and gravel powdered sugar and flour

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Distillation separates components by differences in boiling points, ideal for liquid mixtures where one component can be vaporized and condensed. Honey and tea is a liquid mixture: water (from tea) has a much lower boiling point than the dissolved sugars in honey, so distillation can vaporize the water to separate it from the honey-sugar mixture. The other options are solid-solid mixtures, which distillation cannot effectively separate.

Answer:

honey and tea
