If one propertys' particles are bigger than the other propetys' particles it will be more easier to separate them because the lighter (smaller) particles would stay suspended in water yet the heavier (bigger) particles would settle to the bottom of the water because they're more dense... hoped that helped:)

Can crude oil be be split up into fraction using filteration?

No, crude oil is a mixture of many components that can be separated using distillation. Filtration only removes small amounts of impurities based on particle size, but does not actually separate.


How can you use particle size to separate a mixture?

Depending on the sizes of the particles, you could use a funnel with filter paper, or perhaps a screen sieve.


Two ways you could separate a mixture of sand and sugar?

to separate the mixture of sand and sugar:- first: you can mix water in it and after mixing you can separate the water and sand. and after that you boil the water until whole water is evaporated and you get sugar and sand separated. second: if difference b/w size of sugar and sand particle you can use met to separate them.

How does filtration separate materials based on the size of their particles?

Filtration will remove ALL solid particles regardless of their size. To separate materials based on the size of their particles one would use a process of sieving, using a sieve stack with a smaller and smaller mesh size.


When particle size of constituents are different to separate the component we use?

The most simple method is sieving.


If you have a mixture of gravel and sand and salt and iron fillings what properties of these substances could you use to separate the mixture and how would you use those properties?

Particle size, solubility and magnetism. The iron filings can be separated with a magnet, the salt by disolving in water, and the remaining sand and gravel separated by simple screening.
