Filtration - Solid-Fluid Separation

The video tutorial explains the process of filtering, which involves passing a gas or liquid through a medium that blocks particles above a certain size. This method is commonly used in chemistry and industry to separate products of chemical reactions. Additionally, filtering is prevalent in everyday applications such as water filters and tea bags.

What is the primary function of a filtration medium?

• To increase the speed of the liquid or gas

• To dissolve particles

• To block particles above a certain size

• To allow all particles to pass through
