(b) What type of mixtures can be separated by this method?

(c) Give one example.

Answer 1

1. The above process shown is Filtration, in which a solution is passed through a filter paper to separate its constituent.
   Filtration is technically defined as the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid by passing it through the pores of a membrane known as a filter.
2. Filtration helps to remove the suspended impurities. The mixture is passed through filter paper. The water that is passed is filtered and is much cleared and impurities are trapped in the much small holes of the filter paper.
3. Filtration examples include a mixture of chalk and water and an $\mathrm{AgCl}$-water mixture.
