    • Conical flask
    • Measuring cylinder
    • Evaporating basin
    • Filter paper
  11. Why does evaporation happen slowly in a cold room?

    • Increased humidity
    • Lower temperature
    • Higher pressure
    • Greater solubility
  12. Which method separates the soil from muddy water?

    • Wide filter rim
    • Correctly fitted paper
    • Loose filter fold
  15. Which mixture type is best separated by filtration?

    • Two mixed liquids
    • Soluble solid and liquid
    • Dissolved gases
    • Insoluble solid and liquid
  16. What is the first step when separating a sand, salt and water mixture?

    • Evaporation
    • Distillation
    • Chromatography
    • Filtration

  19. What is the correct order to separate sand, salt and water?

    • Filter then evaporate
    • Evaporate then filter
    • Filter then distil
    • Distil then filter
  20. Why must a filtration residue be dried before its mass is measured?

    • Paper dissolves away
    • Salt crystals form
    • Water adds mass
    • Solid absorbs heat
