Why can a porcelain filter catch all bacteria but viruses go through?

Porcelain filters have small pores that can physically trap bacteria as they are larger in size. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and can pass through the pores of the porcelain filter. Specialized filters or treatments are needed to effectively remove viruses from water.


Which organism traps tiby organisms that pass in and out of its hollow body?

The sponge is an organism that traps tiny organisms that pass in and out of its hollow body. Sponges are filter feeders that use their choanocyte cells to capture small particles and plankton from the water passing through their pores.


How would a dry sample of sodium carbonate be obtained from a mixture of sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate?

Calcium carbonate is not soluble in water, sodium carbonate is soluble in water. Dissolve the mixture and filter: the Na2CO3 pass the filter as a solution and CaCO3 remain on the filter. Gently warm the solution to obtain crystallized sodium carbonate.


When sand and salt is added to water the salt dissloves and the sand sinks to the bottom what process could you use to recover both the sand and the salt?

1. Filtering the liquid sand remain on the filter. 2. The solution containing salt pass the filter; after the evaporation of water crystallized NaCl is obtained.

How do you separate sand and sodium chloride?

- Add water and stir. - Sodium chloride is dissolved. - filter this material. - Sand remain on the filter and sodium chloride in solution; crystallized NaCl can be obtained by the evaporation of water from the solution.


How can we obtain potassium nitrate which is free of soil?

A simple method is to filter the aqueous solution; after this the solution is heated to obtain crystallized KNO3.


Why crystals disappear during suction filtration of a sample crystallized from benzene?

Crystals may disappear during suction filtration of a sample crystallized from benzene if the crystals dissolve in the solvent being used for filtration, or if they break up into smaller particles that pass through the filter. This can happen if the crystals are not fully dried or if too much force is applied during filtration.


How do you separate sulf sodium chloride?

Sulfur is not soluble in water, sodium chloride yes. Filter the solution containing S and NaCl; sulfur remain on the filter, NaCl solution passes the filter. Evaporate te water by heating to obtain crystallized NaCl.
