Answer:
Sample A - mixture
Sample B- Mixture
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at sample A, we can see that as water was poured over sample A, the sample was separated into its components as the powder disappeared leaving behind a gritty black sand-like material on the surface of the paper. A separation of the mixture has taken place.
In sample B, we can clearly see that it is a mixture because the amount of solid recovered is much less than the total mass of the solid put into the beaker. The sample must have been separated into its components.
