Size of filter paper is selected according to the amount of

Correct answer: A. solution

  • A. solution
  • B. amount of insoluble solute
  • C. amount of soluble solute
  • D. Amount of solvents

Explanation

The size of filter paper is generally selected based on the amount of (a) solution being filtered.Here's why the other options are incorrect:(b) The amount of insoluble solute might affect the choice of filtration method but not the size of the filter paper.(c) The amount of soluble solute doesn't necessarily dictate the size of the filter paper; it's more about the total solution volume.(d) The amount of solvent might affect the filtration process but typically doesn't determine the size of the filter paper used

About Experimental Techniques in Chemistry

Separation methods are selected according to differences in solubility, particle size, volatility and sublimation behaviour. Filtration and crystallisation separate insoluble or dissolved solids, sublimation isolates suitable volatile solids, distillation separates liquids by boiling point, and solvent extraction transfers a substance between immiscible solvents.
