The purpose of the Filtration lab was to learn how to use lab equipment to filter a solution. In this lab we learned how to use coffee grounds to make the solids in a solution stay behind and stay in the coffee ground, Then leaving us with a solution free of solids, and if you need to remove more solids in the solution that were not filter the first time then you can just repeat the process so it finishes filtering the liquid.
What is a filtration? Should I filter it? If you are asking yourself these questions then this guide will be perfect for you! A filtration is used to sperate solids from liquids. A filtration is not perfect so if you need 100% zero solids in it then use a different method but if your looking to only remove the macro solids then this will work for you! The filtration works by holding back all of the macro solids and only letting liquids and micro solids through.
What you need for a filtration
A container for your finished liquids/solids
A funnel
A Filter
A beaker for you solid/liquids
A clean workspace
How to do a filter
Place the container for liquids/solids on your work surface
Put a funnel in the container upright (not touching the bottom preferably)
Put the filter in the funnel as shown below (make sure there are no air bubbles on the side of the funnels filter because they can cause slow drip rate)
Put your liquids/solids in the funnel 3/4 of the way
Wait until it goes below the 1/2 mark then fill up to 3/4's again
Put your solids and or liquids into a container to store or use
