Explanation:
1. Sedimentation and decantation cannot be used for all types of mixtures.
Decantation is a separation technique in which is used to separate immiscible liquids or mixtures containing liquid and solids within them.
In decantation, gravity is used to bring the denser materials to settle at the bottom.
For homogenous mixtures, it is not possible to use decantation. A solution of sugar and water will not decant.
2. Yes, mass of an object reduces the settling time of such object in a mixture.
The higher the mass, the faster the rate of settling. Also, as we know, mass is directly proportional to density. A body with a high density will settle faster in solution.

This website helped me understand the concept.
To answer the question above, we take note first that every mole of PCl₃ contains 3 atoms of Cl. First, we divide the given number by 3.
3.68 x 10²⁵ / 3 = 1.227 x 10²⁵
Then, we divide the answer by the Avogadro's number which is equal to 6.022 x 10²³. That is,
1.227 x 10²⁵ / (6.022 x 10²³) = 20.37
Thus, there are 20.37 mol of PCl₃.
B your welcome no problem no thank you my pleasure
