Usually solids with liquid. As an example liquid wine can be decanted from the dregs of left over yeast/sediment etc.

Can you separate sugar from water using decantation?

No. You can separate sugar from water by evaporation.


What types of mixtures could be separated using decantation?

Decantation is suitable for separating heterogeneous mixtures of a solid and a liquid, where the solid settles at the bottom of the container. Examples include separating sand from water, or sediment from a suspension of particles in a liquid.


How can mixtures be sepreated?

Methods are: distillation, sieving, decantation, filtration, ion exchange - depending on the type of mixture.


How can we separate soap and oil from water using a decanter?

Oil float over the water surface; use a decantation funnel for separation.

What could you use to separate that mixtures that can't be separated using a sieve?

A filter? Maybe a magnet (if its metal)


What can be used to separate mixtures?

Separating solids and mixtures?

Methods of separation are: decantation, filtration, sieving, electromagnetic, centrifugation, distillation, ion exchange, gravitational system, elutriation, radiometric sorting, zone refining, sublimation and many others.


How do you separate sand from water not using centrifugation?

You can separate sand from water using the process of sedimentation and decantation. Allow the mixture to stand so that the sand settles to the bottom of the container. Carefully pour off or decant the water, leaving the sand behind.


Are all mixtures easy to separate?

No, not all mixtures are easy to separate. Some mixtures, like air or saltwater, are relatively easy to separate using methods like filtration or distillation. However, other mixtures, like colloids or emulsions, can be more challenging to separate due to the small particle size and strong intermolecular forces involved.


Which separation technique do you use to separate a magnetic substance from a nonmagnetic substance?

Of course, using a magnet (electromagnet). This is valid for many mixtures.
