alleryTo separate SAND from water, the most appropriate method is:
AFiltration through a filter paper or cloth
BDistillation by boiling the entire mixture
CCrystallisation by slow cooling of solution
DChromatography on a paper strip set up
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Filtration through a filter paper or cloth
Filtration separates an INSOLUBLE solid (sand) from a liquid (water).
The mixture passes through filter paper/cloth
the solid stays back, the liquid passes through.
Sand doesn't dissolve, so filtration works.
