Question

1. What is filtartion,sedimentation and decantation?

2. Draw and label the process of those​

Answer 1

Answer:

Filtration

It is defined as the separation process in which insoluble impurities are separated from the solution. Filtration is done with the help of filter paper. Filtering mud from muddy water is an example of filtration.

Example

The mixture of sand and water. Filtration is used here to remove solid particles from the liquid. Various filtering agents are normally used like filtering paper or other materials

Sedimentation

It is defined as the separation process in which solids are separated from the liquid. All the solids settle down at the bottom of a beaker and on top, a clear layer of liquid is obtained. Sedimentation is a process by which heavier impurities present in liquid normally water settle down at the bottom of the container containing the mixture. The process takes some amount of time.

Example

Water treatment plants use the method of sedimentation to filter out unwanted particles from unclean water.
