22) The SIMPLE PHYSICAL Separation METHODS i.e., the methods we use in our day-to-day life
are:
• Handpicking
• Sieving
• Filtration
• Winnowing etcs.,
Procedure:
• Take one tablespoon of Common salt and one tablespoon of Ammonium chloride and mix them.
• Take the mixture in a china dish.
• Take a glass funnel which is big enough to cover the dish.
• Plug the mouth of the funnel with cotton.
• Invert the funnel over the dish.
• Keep the dish on the stand of a stove and heat for sometime.
Observation: Initially you find vapours of Ammonium chloride.
Then solidified Ammonium chloride is seen on the walls of the funnel.
Procedure:
• Take a beaker and fill it to half its volume with water.
• Keep a watch glass on the mouth of the beaker.
• Put a few drops of ink on the watch glass.
• Heat the beaker and observe the watch glass.

27) With the help of a neat labelled diagram, explain how you can separate a mixture of Kerosene
and water?
Procedure:
• Take a separating funnel and pour the mixture of Kerosene and water in it.
• Let it stand undisturbed for some time.
• Separate layers of Oil and water are formed.
• Open the stopcock of the separating funnel and pour out the lower layer of water carefully.
• Close the stopcock of the separating funnel as the Oil reaches the stop-cock.
Principle:
The principle is that the immiscible liquids separate out into layers depending on their densities.
