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.

What process can be used to separate water from a solid dissolved it?

One process that can be used is evaporation. The mixture of water and solid can be heated to evaporate the water, leaving behind the solid. Another process is filtration, where the mixture is passed through a filter that separates the solid from the water.


Why does distillstion produce pure water and filteration does not?

A1. In distillation you convert water into steam and then condense the steam back into water. Almost (but not quite absolutely) all impurities are left behind.In filtration the separation is just a function of pore size, there's nothing to keep foreign objects out of the result except sheer size.Answ2. A modern de-salination plant relies on reverse osmotic pressure to produce potable water from sea water.


Which the of the following is the process of heating water in a container and then trapping the water vapor in a sealed canister?

distillation


What 2 processes are involved in obtaining pure water from a sugar solution?

The two processes involved are filtration to remove the sugar molecules from the solution and distillation to separate the pure water from the dissolved sugar.


Why don't municipal water treatment plants use distillation?

Municipal water treatment plants typically do not use distillation due to its high energy requirements and cost. Distillation is more commonly used for specialized applications or in areas where other water treatment methods are not suitable. Processes like coagulation, filtration, and disinfection are more practical and cost-effective for large-scale water treatment.

Which process distillation or filtration is used to produce drinking water from river water?

Both. But filtration is more common.

Is filtered water almost distilled?

Filtration and distillation are very different processes; a water containing suspended solids must be filtered before distillation.


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.


What is the process called to produce drinking water from seawater?

Distillation.


What can separate water?

Water can be separated through methods such as distillation, filtration, and electrolysis. Distillation involves boiling water and collecting the steam, while filtration uses a physical barrier to separate impurities. Electrolysis involves passing an electric current through water to separate it into hydrogen and oxygen gases.


Water mixed with waste?

Water that is mixed with waste is said to be polluted water. There are various ways of recycling such water which include filtration, decantation and distillation among others.
