What is fillteration?

*Filtration - Darling, learn how to spell before you put a basic question up. Filtration is used to separate solids (Such as sand or small rocks) from liquids. It is set up using a funnel, filter paper, a stand and a beaker to hold the filtrate. The liquid is poured into the funnel, the solid is trapped in the filter paper and the liquid passes through into the beaker - the liquid is then called 'filtrate'.


Can a magnet still work through solid objects?

Depends on the solid object. Generally, yes. A magnetic material (steel, iron etc.) offers some shielding while a superconducting magnet offers I believe perfect shielding. Fridge magnets work just fine through paint, paper etc. It's the thickness of paper pushing the magnet away from the door that stop you holding up a book, not that the magnetic force is stopped by the paper.


How do you find the pH of a solid?

Why is a filter paper is a poor material to powder a solid before introducing it into a melting tube?

Filter paper is a poor material for powdering a solid before introducing it into a melting tube because it is not abrasive enough to effectively break down the solid into a fine powder. The pores of the filter paper may also retain some of the solid, reducing the amount of substance that can be transferred to the melting tube. Additionally, the filter paper itself may contaminate the solid material being powdered.
