Question 12 • Physical Science

Which separation procedure is most likely to happen?

Answer
A
Melting an element will break it down into compounds.
B
Boiling a pure substance will separate it into mixtures.
C
Filtering a mixture will separate it into substances.
D
Freezing a compound will break it down into elements.

Explanation

Filtering can separate a mixture when one component is an insoluble solid and another is a liquid; the filter traps the solid while the liquid passes through. Freezing, boiling, or melting are physical changes and do not break compounds or elements into different substances.
