A mixture of sugar and sulphur can be separated by?

A.

dissolution in water, evapouration and filtration

B.

filtration, evaporation and dissolution in water

C.

D.

evaporation, dissolution in water and filtration

Correct answer is C

Sulfur is insoluble in water but sugar is soluble.

Hence; dissolution of sugar to have sulfur as the only insoluble solid.

Filtration: The filtrate is the liquid that passes through the filtration filter. Meanwhile, the residue is the solid that remains on the filtration filter.

Evaporation: water as part of the filtrate changes into a gas to leave sugar as residue.
