Question

Which of the following pairs of substances would best be separated using a centrifuge, and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (1).

Explanation:

Centrifugation may be defined as the process of separation of two or more mixtures. Centrifugation process is important to separate the drug from the blood samples.

The centrifugation separates the mixtures on the basis of their differences in the density. Milk and cream can be easily separated by centrifugation as they have difference in their density. The milk is stirred and centrifuge due to which the cream comes on the surface (less density) and the heavy particles including milk separates down (heavy density).

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
