2.

The following activities were carried out in the laboratory.

Study them carefully and answer the questions that follow.

I.

10 g of iodated salt was added to 150 ml of water in a baker. The mixture was stirred thoroughly.

II.

Vegetable oil was added to a quantity of water in a corked flask and shaken vigorously then allowed to stand for some time.

III.

Few grams of grinded charcoal was added to water in a beaker and stirred vigorously and then allowed to stand.

i)

State what will be observed in each of the activities I, II and III.

ii)

Suggest an aim for the experiment.

iii)

State one difference between what is observed in I and III.

iv)

State a method of separation for the activity carried out in II.
