Separation: Separation means process of moving something apart.
We need to sep.arate a mixture into its different components because of the following reasons :
- To remove the useless or harmful components. For example, removing tea leaves after making tea.
- To obtain the useful component. For getting wheat/rice grains after separating husk, dirt etc.
- To remove impurities for getting a pure sample. For example – obtaining sugar crystals from sugarcane juice or salt from sea water.
