which is an example of how a mixture can be separated due to the physical properties of its parts?\ncarbon is separated from iron in steel by bending the steel into a different shape.\nnitrogen gas is separated from oxygen gas in air by using a filter.\niron pieces are separated from a mixture with sulfur powder by using a magnet.\nsalt is separated from a mixture with water by freezing the water.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- Bending steel doesn't separate carbon from iron as it's a physical - shape change, not a separation based on physical properties for components.
- Filters can't separate nitrogen and oxygen in air as they are both gaseous and similar in size for common filters.
- Iron is magnetic while sulfur is not. Using a magnet to separate iron pieces from a sulfur - iron mixture exploits the magnetic property of iron, a physical property.
- Freezing water in a salt - water mixture doesn't separate salt effectively as salt will be present in the ice or the remaining liquid in an impure way.
Answer:
C. Iron pieces are separated from a mixture with sulfur powder by using a magnet.
