discuss the priciple behind the process of solution and filtration as a mean of separation?

Answer 1

This is a good question. And I have been sitting here for a minute trying to figure out how to reply to it. Although I do not know the answer, I am going to look over the net, and do a search on Google, and Yahoo, and other sites and try to find out. I wish I knew what the answer was because I think a question like this deserves the answer. I am wonder how many other people would benefit from the answer. I am glad you asked this question, as it has really got me thinking............. thanks again!!!



PS, this question reminds me of other questions I have seen in my lifetime, which I still have yet to come up worth an answer. Maybe you might know the answer to them............


1.If you cut one head off of a two headed man, have you decapitated him?
2.What is the maximum height of a short man?
3. When does a fertilized egg develop into a person?

Answer 2

Solution is usually used to seperate 2 solid substances (eg sand & salt) , one of which is soluble in a solvent (eg water). This sort of filtration involves dissolving the soluble subatance in the solvent and then passing it over a material that only lets the water through. The residue will be the insoluble substance and the filtrate will have the soluble compound in it. It can later be obtained by evaporating the water.

Answer 3

" Filtration is the primary technique used to separate solids from liquids..." "...Conceptually, the process of filtration is simple and involves passing a liquid containing a solid material through a abarrier that is permeable only to the liquid. The liquid is collected in an appropriate receiver, and the solid remains on the barrier..."

Different kinds include : gravity, hot, vacuum, craig tube filtration etc etc
