Flashcards
Filtration
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
Particle Size
The size of the particles in a mixture. Smaller particles can pass through a filter, while larger particles stay behind.
Suspension
Suspension
A mixture where one substance is spread evenly throughout another substance, but the substances are not chemically combined.

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.
