Which technique is commonly used to separate insoluble solid particles from a liquid, such as separating sand from water?

Explanation

Filtration separates insoluble solid particles from a liquid or gas by passing the mixture through a filter medium, such as filter paper, that allows the liquid to pass through while trapping the solid particles. This common laboratory and household technique is used, for example, in coffee makers, water treatment plants, and simple science experiments separating sand from water. Filtration only works for insoluble solids and does not separate substances that are fully dissolved in a liquid. Explore more Everyday Science MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
