Observe the materials given below. A Wax powder B Iron C Salt D Sand How can you separate the components if A and B get mixed?

Iron can be separated from a mixture of iron and wax powder by the process of magnetic separation. The suitable material for this process is a magnet as it will attract iron towards itself. Thus, wax powder will be left behind which can be collected then.

Observe the materials given below. A Wax powder B Iron C Salt D Sand How can you separate the components if A and C get mixed?

The mixture of wax powder and salt can be separated by dissolving it in water, where wax powder being insoluble will not dissolve in water but salt being soluble will completely dissolve in water. Wax powder can be collected by the method of filtration using a sieve or a filter paper, and salt can be collected by the process of evaporation.

Observe the materials given below. A Wax powder B Iron C Salt D Sand How can you separate the components if A and D get mixed?

The mixture of wax powder and sand can be separated by heating the mixture. Melting wax changes its phase from a solid to a liquid and then sand can be filtered using a very fine pores filter or sieve.
