Question

write a short note on filtration

Answer 1

Filtration: Filtration is a process by which insoluble solids can be removed from a liquid by using a filter paper. A filter paper is a special type of paper which has pores that are tiny enough to let only liquids pass through it. If you pass a solution through filter paper, any undissolved solid particles will get left behind on the paper whereas the liquid will filter through. The liquid that passes through is called the filtrate and the undissolved solid particles are called residue.  Example: A mixture of chalk powder and water can be separated by this method.
