Answer 1

Filtration is a separation process used when minute insoluble solids are present in a liquid.

Filter paper is a particular type of sieve with minute pores that trap the insoluble solid particles due to their larger size and let the liquid flow.

Uses of Filter paper:

• It is used in laboratory experiments.
• Filter paper is used to separate components from air or liquid flow by acting as a semi-permeable barrier
• Tiny pores are present because of that it gives a clear solution as the particles trapped in the pores of filter paper.
• Filter paper is the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid. For example: removing sand from the water.
