Yes, anything that dissolves in the in water will pass through a coffee filter. The easiest way for the average person to remove sodium and other contaminants from water is to boil the water, collect the steam and then cool the steam to a liquid state. There is much less labor involved in simply drinking fresh water, however.

What are soils that allow water to pass through them faster?
Loose or sandy soils allow water to percolate(pass) through them faster
What soil types allow water to pass through very slowly?
the soil that allows water to pass through very slowly is clay
If salt water is poured through a filter will salt be trapped on the filter?
Imagine salt as a giant lattice of positively charged sodium atoms and negatively charged chloride atoms. When undissolved, this giant salt lattice is unable to pass through filter paper owing to its immense size. Now, recall that water is made of 2 Hydrogen atoms (which is slightly positive) and 1 Oxygen atom (which is slightly negative). When salt is dissolved, the slightly positively charged hydrogen atoms in water works to pull away the negatively charged chloride. Likewise, the slightly negatively charged oxygen atoms in water pulls away the positively charged sodium atoms. In essence, what this means is that the giant salt lattice is being "torn apart" by water into smaller and smaller bits to the point whereby the individual atoms are able to pass through the filter paper.
What is it called when water can pass through soil?
percolation
Can liquid nitrogen be used for cooling water?
Yes, If you pass liquid nitrogen through water, it will cool the water. It will cool it to the point of freezing and then down to about -300F if you continue to pass it through the ice.
Why does the water passes through the filter paper but not the cornstarch?
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
What is a quick way to get Percocet out of your urine?
Yeah. Freeze it and then pass it through a coffee filter.
How do you separate salt water from the mixture of chalk powder mixed in water?
Pass the mixture through filter paper. The salt water will pass through leaving the chalk behind in the filter paper.
What is the definition of filter?
A filter is a device to strain out substances you don't want from the stuff you do. A coffee filter strains out the grounds and lets the coffee pass through. An air filter strains out impurities in the air and lets the purer air through. A spam filter strains out the e-mails you don't want and lets the ones you do want through.
Why does the the water passes through the filter paper but not the cornstarch?
The water actually passes through the filter paper and the cornstarch. However, the cornstarch does not pass through the filter because the molecules are to large.
Can soil and water be separated by a filter?
A paper filter will allow water to slowly pass through, leaving the soil particles behind.
How do you separate coffee sand and water?
Weigh each sample and then make a solution of coffee, sand and water. First of all, we have to filter the solution with the help of filter paper so all the water will pass through the paper and as a filtrate we will have coffee and sand. Take the filtrate and let it dry. Secondly, once the filtrate is dry take a strong magnet and scan across, underneath the filter paper. This will separate all the sand on one side of the filter paper. Finally, record the mass of each component after the experiment.
What does on filter mean?
To filter is to remove or organise something. For instance, passing a sandy water solution through a filter paper will allow the water to pass through, but will keep back the sand. In computing, you can filter your emails into different folder automatically.
How does filtration separate a substance that dissolves from one that does not dissolve?
Filtration uses pressure to move a liquid through a semi-permeable membrane. Think of a coffee maker, where the hot water is pulled through coffee grounds and a filter stops most of the particles from ending up in the pot. The smaller particles are dissolved, so they pass through the filter. The larger ones are not dissolved so they stay behind as the used up coffee grounds that get thrown away.
How do you you clarify used vegetable oil?
You need to pass the oil through a filter, warm the oil (don't try to do it with hot oil it's too dangerous) and pass it through a wire strainer to remove the large bits, then through a paper filter such as a coffee filter or kitchen towel.
How does a cartridge pool filter work?
A cartridge pool filter works by collecting the particles filtering through the pool. It allows water to pass through, but not solid objects.
How do you separate water after boiling barley seeds?
You can use filtration to separate them. First, you pour the water with the seeds through a filter funnel which is lined with filter paper. Then the filter paper will trap the insoluble substance (the barley seeds). the water will then pass through the filter paper and collected in a beaker as the filtrate.
