By the filtration process with the help of filter paper we can obtain clear water from a sample of muddy water.
(8) Fill up the blanks
(a) The method of separating seeds of paddy from its stalks is called ____.
Answer :
Threshing.
(b) When milk, cooled after boiling, is poured onto a piece of cloth the cream (malai) is left behind on it. This process of separating cream from milk is an example of ____.
Answer :
Sieving.
(c) Salt is obtained from seawater by the process of ____.
Answer :
Evaporation
(d) Impurities settled at the bottom when muddy water was kept overnight in a bucket. The clear water was then poured off from the top. The process of separation used in this example is called ____.
Answer :
Sedimentation.
(9) True or false?
(a) A mixture of milk and water can be separated by filtration.
Answer :
It is False.
