The correct response to separate two liquids that form a solution is:
heating the liquids and letting one boil away first.
This process is known as distillation, which is effective for separating liquids with different boiling points.

The correct response to separate two liquids that form a solution is:
heating the liquids and letting one boil away first.
This process is known as distillation, which is effective for separating liquids with different boiling points.
The correct response is:
magnetism.
Iron filings are magnetic, while sand is not, allowing the student to easily separate the two using a magnet.
The correct response is:
Boil the water away, leaving the substance behind in the beaker.
This process allows the water to evaporate, leaving the solid substance behind. Note that if the substance has completely dissolved in water (creating a true solution), it cannot be separated by filtration or magnetism. However, if it is a soluble solid, boiling will effectively leave the solute once the water has evaporated.
The correct response is:
filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt.
In this process, filtration is used to separate the undissolved sand from the saltwater solution, and then distillation can be used to evaporate the water, leaving the salt behind.
The expression that is correctly developed to use the Product Rule of Exponents is:
10^8 × 10^8.
The Product Rule states that when multiplying two numbers with the same base, you can add their exponents (e.g., \( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} \)). In this case, \( 10^8 \times 10^8 \) can be simplified using the rule.
The expression \( 10^{08} \cdot 10^{07} \) can be simplified using the Product Rule of Exponents, which states that you add the exponents when multiplying like bases. Thus:
\[ 10^{08} \cdot 10^{07} = 10^{(8+7)} = 10^{15}. \]
So, the correct response is:
100^15.
