Mixtures - Separation Techniques - Filtration.
A solid which has not
dissolved in a
liquid can be separated by filtration.
A filter paper is placed inside a
glass funnel and a container put beneath.
The solid remaining in
the filter paper is called the
residue.
The residue can be dried by spreading it out on the filter paper
and allowing the liquid to
evaporate.
The liquid which has passed through the filter
paper is called the filtrate.
