Distinguish between the following pairs of terms as they pertain to this experiment. (a) decantation and filtration (b) supernate and filtrate (c) evaporation and extraction Distinguish between the following pairs of terms as they pertain to this experiment. (a) decantation and filtration (b) supernate and filtrate (c) evaporation and extraction Distinguish between the following pairs of terms as they pertain to this experiment. (a) decantation and filtration (b) supernate and filtrate (c) evaporation and extraction

Explanation / Answer

a. Decantation: A process which used to separate the layer of liquid,from a settled precipitate.

filtration: A process which used to separate the layer of liquid,from solid by adding a medium through which only the fluid can pass. eg : whatman filter paper

b. supernate: It is a liquid which remains above the solid produced by a precipitation reaction.

filtrate : The layer of liquid, from solid that paas through the medium during the filtration.

c. evaporation and extraction :

The process of conversion of liquid (in a container) is turned into vapour, in order to increase the concentration of solid matter in the mixture is called evaporatoin

The process of separation of one compound from other using solvent is called extraction
