Answer:

to separate the undissolved particles of a mixture into layers

Step-by-step explanation:

Centrifuge is the machine that rotates continuously so the liquid placed in the centrifuge tube gets separated into two parts. The undissolved particles of the mixture gets deposited at the end of the tube and the liquid remains floating in the upper side. So, in this process the undissolved part of the mixture gets separated.

Hence, The Centrifuge is the process by which undissolved particles of mixture is separated.
