In a laboratory experiment, john uses a mesh to separate soil particles from water. which technique of separation is he using? chromatography distillation filtration fragmentation condensation

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A mesh is a kind of net like structure generally used for the purpose of filtration.

Distillation is defined as the method used to separate two liquids with a difference of less than or around in their boiling point.  

So, a liquid with low boiling point will evaporate and its vapors can be collected in a separate container.

Chromatography is defined as a method for separating a mixture by passing it in a solution with the help of a medium where the components of the mixture travel at different rates.

And, filtration is a method used to separate a solid from a liquid by passing through a porous barrier. The solid remain stick to the barrier and liquid passes through the barrier.

A method in which a solid substance is broken down into different parts or fragments is known as fragmentation.

Condensation is a process is in which vapor phase of a substance changes into liquid phase.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation John is using the technique of filtration.
