1. Alcohol from a mixture of alcohol and water can be separated by fractional distillation as they are miscible liquids. 2. Charcoal from a mixture of charcoal and water can be separated by sedimentation. That is, charcoal being insoluble, will settle at the bottom of the container and the water can be decanted. 3. Copper sulphate crystals from copper sulphate in water can be separated by crystallisation. It is done based on the difference in solubility of solids in a liquid. 4. Sulphur from a mixture of sulphur and charcoal is separated by evaporation. It is first dissolved in carbon disulphide solvent. The sulphur will dissolve and carbon will remain as residue. Evaporate the filtrate to obtain sulphur. 5. Iron from a mixture of iron and lead can be separated by magnetic separation because iron will get easily attracted to magnets. Column A Column B 1.
