Need for Separation of Mixtures

ScienceClass 6CBSEAnswered 5 Apr 2026
Answer

We separate components of mixtures for several reasons:

  1. To remove unwanted substances
    Example: removing tea leaves from tea.
  2. To obtain useful substances
    Example: churning milk to obtain butter.
  3. To remove impurities
    Example: removing stones and husk from rice or wheat.

Separation techniques help us obtain pure substances and make materials suitable for use.
