Question

39. suppose an aqueous solution contains both table sugar and table salt. can you separate either of these solutes from the water by filtration? explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

No, assuming that the salt/sugar is already dissolved

Explanation:

As long as the particle size is too big, it won't filter through. Therefore, if it is dissolved, it will pass through the filter.

If you were to throw rocks in there or something, and they are non-dissolvable, then yes.
