Can you separate water from sugar using filtration?

because sugar and salt are soluble to water it cannot be seperated by filtration but can by evaporation. in filtration it cannot seperate becasue it has been broken down into tiny particles and it pass through the filter being used.


How does filtration separate materials based on the size of their particles?

Filtration will remove ALL solid particles regardless of their size. To separate materials based on the size of their particles one would use a process of sieving, using a sieve stack with a smaller and smaller mesh size.

Why is the filtering method used?

filtration is used to separate two salts with different molecular size which mat be soluble and insoluble in water respectively.so that the soluble one is the filterate and the insoluble one will be the residue on the filter paper.


Does ionic compounds dissolve in organic solvent?

No they don't. They only dissolve in water. For example, sodium chloride is not soluble in hexane. Therefore we can separate the two by filtration :)
