A liquid mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration is a suspension.

Settling is the process of letting solid particles in a mixture settle at the bottom due to gravity, while filtration involves passing a mixture through a filter to separate solid particles from a liquid. Both methods are used to separate components based on their size or density differences.
A sieve.
A sieve or strainer is frequently used to separate particles from a mechanical mixture based on differences in particle size. This allows smaller particles to pass through while larger particles are retained, creating a separation based on particle size.
A physical property such as size, shape, or density can be used to separate particles in a mixture. Common methods include filtration, distillation, chromatography, and centrifugation.
Water and soil can be separated through methods such as filtration, sedimentation, or settling. Filtration involves passing the mixture through a barrier to trap the soil particles. Sedimentation allows the soil to settle at the bottom of a container, while the water can be decanted or drawn off the top. centrifugation can also be used to separate water and soil by spinning the mixture at high speeds to separate the components based on density.
A heterogeneous mixture is one where the components are visibly different and can be easily separated using physical methods like filtration or sorting. Examples include a mixture of sand and salt, where the sand particles can be seen and separated from the smaller salt particles.
When the particles in a mixture are not the same size, they can separate based on their different sizes through methods such as filtration or sedimentation. This property allows for the physical separation of the components of the mixture.
Filtration is a method used to separate a heterogeneous mixture by passing it through a porous material, like filter paper or a sieve. The solid particles in the mixture are trapped by the filter, while the liquid or smaller particles pass through. This results in the separation of the solid component from the liquid component of the mixture.
Filtration, sedimentation, and centrifugation are common methods used to separate insoluble solids from liquids. Filtration involves passing the mixture through a filter medium to trap the solid particles. Sedimentation allows the solid particles to settle at the bottom of the container due to gravity. Centrifugation uses centrifugal force to separate the solid particles from the liquid by spinning the mixture at high speeds.
One method to separate fine wood ash suspended in water is by allowing the mixture to settle, then carefully pouring off the water. Another method is to filter the mixture using filter paper or a fine mesh sieve to separate the ash particles from the water. Additionally, centrifugation can be used to separate the ash particles by spinning the mixture at high speeds to force the particles to settle at the bottom of the container.
