Why does distillation produce pure water but filtration doesn't?

It is becaise filtration only seperates the large particles (particles larger then the filter paper). Germs, virus and fine impurities will pass through the filter paper as they are much smaller then the holes in the filter paper. Ditillation produces pure water as the water is changed from the liquid state to the gaseous state (only water is boiled and nothing else) before it is condesed to turn it back into the liquid state.

How do you separate powder from water?
The best process for separating powder from water depends on the powder. If the powder dissolves in the water, then boiling the water and condensing it (distillation), will separate the two components. If the powder does not dissolve in the water, then simple filtration will separate the two.
What process can be used to separate water from a solid dissolved it?
Filtration, centrifuging, sedimentation and separation, crystallization, freeze distillation
What is the scientific method of water filtration?
There are only three true methods of water filtration known to man. De ionization (not consumable), Distillation not easily done), and Reverse Osmosis9can be done in a home. All other filtration methods are partial filtration methods such as pleated or micron filters.
Why does filter paper not remove salt or sugar from water?
it does not remove the sugar or salt because it is dissolved in the water so it cannot be removed by filtration and must be removed by distillation
What method of separation would you use to separate water with very tiny particles floating in it and how?
One can use sifter to separate water from tiny particles.
Which process distillation or filtration is used to produce drinking water from river water?
Both. But filtration is more common.
Would distillation or filtration produce the purest water from river waterGive a reason?
Because distillation produces vapour and impuritites can not leave with the vapour
Why distillation produces pure water but filtration does not?
no one knows
What is a simple method of purifying water?
Boiling Bleach Filtration Distillation
Is filtered water almost distilled?
Filtration and distillation are very different processes; a water containing suspended solids must be filtered before distillation.
What is filtration evaporation and distillation how can they be used to separate a mixture?
Well distillation is when you boil something so that solid object can dissolve more easily when filtration is when you want to have clear water etc and when you get all of the bits out of it

Do you use either filtration a separatory funnel or charcoal filtration to remove contaminants from water?
None of them. One way would be to use a distillation apparatus.
What is water filtration?
Water filtration is a process that removes impurities from water by using a physical barrier, chemical process, or biological process. Common methods of water filtration include reverse osmosis, distillation, and deionization. For more details visit our website(Bestroplant.pk).
Is it possible to purify water using distillation and filtration methods?
Yes. This is how water is purified to get distilled water and/or deionized water.
