Flashcards

Filtration

A process that separates solid particles from a liquid by passing the mixture through a material with small holes, called a filter.

Particle Size

The size of the particles in a mixture. Smaller particles can pass through a filter, while larger particles stay behind.

Suspension

A mixture where one substance is spread evenly throughout another substance, but the substances are not chemically combined.

Insoluble Solid

A substance that cannot dissolve in a liquid.

Study Notes

Filtration

Filtration separates substances based on particle size.
The filter contains holes large enough for only liquid to pass through.
Insoluble solids are trapped by the filter.
Liquid passes through the filter.
Suspensions containing solid and liquid phases can be separated using this method.
The desired output (liquid or solid) can be recovered.
