Solid 🡪 Liquid 🡪 Gas
‘Liquefaction of gases’ is the process by which substances in their gaseous state are converted to the liquid state. When the pressure on a gas is increased, its molecules come closer together, and the temperature is reduced. This removes enough energy to make it change from the gaseous state to the liquid state.
A mixture is an impure substance and contains more than one kind of particles. In the mixture the components are mixed in any proportion.
In washing machines water is squeezed out from clothes and they are dried. This method is called centrifugation.
Rice husk also called chaff is the hard coating or protective covering on a seed or grains. It protects the seed during the growing season. Husk can be used as building material, fertilizer, insulation material and fuel.
Combination of methods are used sometimes for complete separation. If the mixture of sand and salt in water has to be separated several methods like sedimentation, decantation, filtration, evaporation and condensation are used.
In most houses people use commercial water filter to remove not only the impurities but also to kill the harmful germs in water using UV rays. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a process of removing impurities from water to make it potable.
