no

Yes it can.Due to the little holes in the filter paper. The holes send through the clean water into a beaker.

No it won't. Look at the mixture of oil, water and food coloring.

No, you can take out the solute by evaporating, or distilling the solution. Then only the solvent remains.

Because the solute is soluble in the solvent.

What is the difference between decanting and filtration?

Decanting: Pouring out a liquid off a vessel. E.g. a jar filled with water contains settled insolubility/sediment. To separate the mixture by decantation, the liquid is gently poured out off the vessel into another one without disturbing the sediment.Filtration: This where the filter paper is used. This is the arrangement: a retort stand attached to it is a (filter) funnel that contains the filter paper, below the funnel is an empty beaker. The mixture to be filtered is poured into the funnel passing through the filter paper. The mixture is now separated with the liquid part(called the filtrate) in the beaker and the impurity(called residue) trapped in the filter paper.Both separation techniques are used to separate solid-liquid mixtures with the solid being insoluble. The former is used when the solid is sort of heavy and can easily settle at the bottom while the latter is used when the solid is fine and dispersed through out the liquid.


How aluminium dust and NaCl is separated?

Aluminum dust and NaCl are easily separated, since the former is insoluble in water and the later is highly soluble in water. Put the mixture in water, decant the salty water through a filter, to retain the aluminum dust, and if you want to recover the NaCl, you can then boil away the water.
