Q8. Short notes:
1. Filtration
Filtration is a method of purifying water by passing it through a thin cloth or filter paper. A
filter paper acts like a strainer. It allows the water to pass through it but holds back the solid
particles. A circular piece of filter paper is folded in to a cone and placed in a funnel. The water
along with its impurities is gently poured into the funnel with the help of a glass rod. The
insoluble particles settle on top of the filter paper and the clear water is collected in a container
kept below the funnel.
2. Distillation
The process of purifying water which involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam
is called distillation. It involves two processes evaporation and condensation of water. This
method is used to separate soluble impurities from water. Impure water is heated till it boils. On
boiling, water evaporates leaving impurities behind in the flask. The steam is passed through a
condenser which is kept cool by circulating cold water around it. The steam cools down in the
cool condenser and changes into water which is collected in another flask. This water is
absolutely pure.
