Question

question 2. a student is using a procedure to separate a mixture in the lab, as shown in the image provided below. part a. which separation procedure is the student conducting? chromatography part b. what property does this procedure use to separate components? solubility part c. what does this process do? it separates magnetic substances from nonmagnetic substances. it separates insoluble solids from liquids. it separates liquids that have different boiling points. it separates magnetic substances from nonmagnetic substances. it separates substances that have different solubilities.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify separation method

The setup and the options suggest chromatography is the correct separation procedure as it is often depicted with a stationary - phase (the vertical medium) and a mobile - phase (the liquid moving up), which is consistent with the image.

Step2: Recall principle of chromatography

Chromatography separates components based on their different solubilities in the mobile and stationary phases.

Step3: Select correct description for chromatography

Chromatography separates substances that have different solubilities. It does not separate magnetic/non - magnetic substances (that's magnetic separation), insoluble solids from liquids (that's filtration), or liquids with different boiling points (that's distillation).

Answer:

Part A. Chromatography
Part B. Solubility
Part C. It separates substances that have different solubilities.
