The component of the mixture retained in the filter during filtration is called_________
The correct option is A Residue
Explanation of correct option :
(A) Residue: Filtration helps to remove the suspended impurities. The mixture is passed through filter paper. The impurities are trapped in the much small holes of the filter paper and are called a residue.
Explanation of incorrect option :
(B) Filtrate: During filtration, the mixture is passed through a filter paper. The water that is passed is filtered and is much cleared and known as filtrate.
(C) Sediment: The insoluble solid particles of a mixture that settle down under the effect of gravity is called sediment.
(D) Effluent: It is the liquid waste that drains out from factories into air and water.
Thus, the correct option is (A) i.e. residue.
