Distillation and Floatation represent procedures that can be used to separate components of a mixture. 

Mixture Separation

Distillation can be used to separate liquids or gases based on their different boiling points, while floatation can be used to separate solids based on their different densities.

The best method of transferring a coarsley-powdered solid to a six-inch test tube is to(A) pour it through a thin-stemmed glass funnel.(B) pour it from the lip of an evaporating dish.(C) pour it from the bottle originally containing the solid.(D) pour it from creased square of paper.
