Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Separation of Mixtures - filtration worksheet

Problem Analysis:


The task involves labeling a diagram of a filtration setup and answering questions based on the labeled diagram. Filtration is a method used to separate mixtures into their components, typically solids and liquids.

#### Step 1: Label the Diagram
We need to label the parts of the filtration setup using the words provided in the box:
- Flask
- Filter paper
- Beaker
- Mixture
- Filtrate
- Sand
- Filter funnel

#### Diagram Components:
1. Top Section (Brown Area): This is where the mixture is placed.
2. Middle Section (Funnel Shape): This is the filter funnel.
3. Paper Inside the Funnel: This is the filter paper.
4. Bottom Section (Receiving Container): This is the flask.
5. Liquid Dropping from the Funnel: This is the filtrate.
6. Solid Left on the Filter Paper: This is the sand.

#### Labeling the Diagram:
- Top Section (Brown Area): Mixture
- Middle Section (Funnel Shape): Filter funnel
- Paper Inside the Funnel: Filter paper
- Bottom Section (Receiving Container): Flask
- Liquid Dropping from the Funnel: Filtrate
- Solid Left on the Filter Paper: Sand

#### Labeled Diagram:

Step 2: Answer the Questions Based on the Diagram



#### Question 1: What substances were in the original mixture in the beaker?
- The original mixture in the beaker consists of sand (solid) and a liquid (likely water). These two components make up the mixture before filtration.

#### Answer to Question 1:
The substances in the original mixture are sand and liquid (water).

---

#### Question 2: What type of mixture is in the beaker?
- A mixture containing both solid (sand) and liquid (water) particles is called a heterogeneous mixture. In a heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly distributed and can be visibly distinguished.

#### Answer to Question 2:
The type of mixture in the beaker is a heterogeneous mixture.

---

#### Question 3: What substances are in the filtrate?
- During filtration, the liquid component passes through the filter paper and collects in the flask as filtrate. The solid component (sand) remains on the filter paper.
- Therefore, the filtrate contains only the liquid component (water).

#### Answer to Question 3:
The substances in the filtrate are liquid (water).

---

#### Question 4: What type of mixture is in the filtrate?
- The filtrate contains only the liquid component (water), which means it is a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture if there are dissolved solutes. Since no solid is present, it is not a heterogeneous mixture.

#### Answer to Question 4:
The type of mixture in the filtrate is a homogeneous mixture (or a pure substance if no solutes are dissolved).

---

Final Answers:


1. Substances in the original mixture: Sand and liquid (water)
2. Type of mixture in the beaker: Heterogeneous mixture
3. Substances in the filtrate: Liquid (water)
4. Type of mixture in the filtrate: Homogeneous mixture

Boxed Final Answer:


\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{l}
1. \text{Sand and liquid (water)} \\
2. \text{Heterogeneous mixture} \\
3. \text{Liquid (water)} \\
4. \text{Homogeneous mixture}
\end{array}
}
\]
