Why does the water passes through the filter paper but not the cornstarch?
Acuximavhela
Basically because the pores in coffee filter are big enough to let water molecules through, while coffee grinds are too large to pass.
An in case anyone wonders why the water passes through the filter - that's gravity ;)
because the coffee is a greater thickness and water is not thick at all...water can fit into anything it wants to....you dont filter water anyway, you filter the items in it Is it not somethimg to do with particles????????? we do not filter water it is clean we filter the items in it!!!!!!! we have tofilter it if it is a solution

Hope it helped!!

Can you separate the cornstarch from water without using filter paper why?
The only way to separate cornstarch and water is my filtration so you would have to use filter paper or something similar.
what do you call to a liquid when the water passes through a filter paper?
The filtrate is the liquid which passes through the filter paper and the residue is the solid left on the filter paper.

What do you call the liquid that passes through the filter?
It is called the filtrate. What remains on the paper is called the residue.

Why does sand stay on the filter paper?
because the filter paper blocks the sand and doesn't allow it to pass through therefore it stays art the top while the rest of the mixture passes
Why is fluted filter paper used in filtration process?
There are two primary advantages to fluted filter paper. One is the increase in filter area. The second, and probably the more effective of the two, is the fluting creates gaps between the filter paper and the funnel in which it is resting. These gaps provide channels for the solvent to flow through after it passes through the filter paper, thus greatly increasing the speed of solvent flow through the paper. This effect is most noticeable with the finer filter papers.
Because of the porosity of the filter paper some of the calcium oxalate and water precipitate passes through the filter paper will the report precent of the limiting reactant be high or low explain.?
too low
