Answer (1)
Answer:Gasoline in Water - YesGasoline and water do not mix, allowing for the top layer (gasoline) to be easily decanted.Arroz Caldo - NoThis rice porridge is a homogenous mixture where solid and liquid components cannot be easily separated through decantation.Spaghetti - NoCooked spaghetti is a soft solid immersed in water, thus a decantation would not effectively separate it as the water and pasta form a complex mixture.Sinigang with Floating Fats - YesThe floating fats can be separated from the liquid broth using decantation.Ice Cream - NoIce cream is a colloid and cannot be separated into its components through decantation.Fruit Salad - NoAlthough there are distinct components, fruit salad consists of mixed solids that do not separate through decantation.Oil in Water - YesOil floats on water due to differences in density, making it possible to decant the oil from the water.Lugaw - NoSimilar to arroz caldo, lugaw (rice porridge) is a homogenous mixture where solid and liquid components are intermixed.Batchoy - NoBatchoy, a noodle soup, is a complex mixture that does not allow for effective separation through decantation.Tinolang Manok - NoThis chicken soup consists of mixed ingredients and broth, making separation ineffective through decantation.
