Why is centrifugation used to separate a solid-liquid mixture |
|
Answer» Centrifugation SEPARATES the components of heterogeneous mixtures. These include LIQUIDS in liquids, solids in liquids, and solids and liquids in GASES. Centrifugation uses centrifugal force to MOVE dense components to the outside of the container. This causes the solid to settle more rapidly and completely. |
