How do you separate mixture of flour and sugar?
To separate a mixture of flour and sugar, you can use the following methods:
1. Dissolving: Sugar is soluble in water while flour is not.
- Place the mixture in a large bowl or container.
- Add enough water to fully submerge the mixture.
- Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Flour will settle at the bottom.
2. Filtration:
-Pour the sugar solution through a fine sieve or a cheesecloth.
-Flour particles will be retained on the sieve, while the sugar solution passes through.
3. Evaporation:
- Place the filtrate (sugar solution) in a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
-As water evaporates, sugar becomes more concentrated.
- Continue boiling until all the water evaporates, leaving behind crystallized sugar.
- Flour remains separated.
