Question

What is Decantation and Sedimentation and Filtration

Answer 1

Answer:

1)Filtration is the direct separation of the entire solution through a filter, where the solid is trapped on the filter and the liquid passes through.2) Decantation is pouring the liquid away from a precipitated solid, keeping the solid in the original container.

3)Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration, or electromagnetism.

Answer 2

Sedimentation is a process in which solid liquid solution can be separated for this you need to take two containers put the solution in one then starre it and then after 10 min u can see that the heavier component or solid will settle down and then u can pour the water into another container these process is called decantation ...for eg water mixed with sand.

Filtration is the process in which u can separate the same mixture..

but by a filter paper or muslin cloth or a filter tunnel...

just the particles should be different in weight and size. solid should be bigger and heavier in size and weight then liquid.

for eg tea leaves mixed with water
