Very small insoluble particles in a liquid may be separated from it by using
General KnowledgeChemistry
- ACrystallization
- BFractional distillation
- CCentrifugation
- DDecantation
Explanation
Very small insoluble particles, such as those in colloidal suspensions, cannot be separated by ordinary filtration, decantation, crystallisation or fractional distillation. Centrifugation subjects the mixture to high centrifugal force, driving the denser particles to the bottom rapidly. Hence option C is correct.
