Separating Mixtures through Filtration

What is filtration?

• Process of separating liquids from solids or gases using a porous medium

• Process of combining solids with liquids or gases using a porous medium

• Process of heating solids with liquids or gases using a porous medium

• Process of separating solids from liquids or gases using a porous medium

What is the purpose of filtration in separating mixtures?

• To separate solid particles from a liquid or gas mixture.

• To prevent the separation of solid particles from a liquid or gas mixture.

• To increase the concentration of solid particles in a liquid or gas mixture.

• To combine solid particles with a liquid or gas mixture.

Describe the filtration process.

• Filtration is the process of separating gases from liquids using a magnetic field.

• Filtration is the process of separating liquids from solids using a heating process.

• Filtration is the process of separating solids from liquids or gases using a porous material or filter medium.

• Filtration is the process of separating solids from liquids or gases using a centrifuge.

What are the materials used in filtration?

• glass, plastic, metal, wood

• rubber, clay, stone, cement

• filter paper, sand, activated carbon, diatomaceous earth, cloth

• oil, gas, coal, water

How does filtration separate a mixture?

• By using a filter medium to separate the liquid or smaller particles from the larger solid particles.

• By using distillation to separate the mixture based on different boiling points.

• By using a magnet to attract and separate the magnetic particles from the mixture.

• By using a centrifuge to separate the mixture based on density.

What happens to the solid particles during filtration?

• Solid particles are separated from the liquid and retained by the filter media.

• Solid particles are destroyed during filtration.

• Solid particles pass through the filter media.

• Solid particles dissolve in the liquid.

What happens to the liquid during filtration?

• The liquid remains unchanged.

• The liquid is separated from the solid particles or impurities.

• The liquid turns into a gas.

• The liquid evaporates completely.

Can filtration be used to separate a mixture of two liquids? Why or why not?

• Yes, because filtration can separate substances based on their particle size.

• Yes, because filtration can separate substances based on their boiling points.

• Yes, because filtration can separate substances based on their solubility.

• No

What are some examples of mixtures that can be separated through filtration?

• salt and water

• sugar and water

• milk and water

• sand and water, oil and water

What are the advantages of using filtration to separate mixtures?

• Filtration can separate mixtures into their individual components.

• Filtration is a quick and efficient method of separation.

• Filtration is only used for separating solid particles from liquids.

• Filtration allows for the separation of solid particles from a liquid or gas.
