Question

When a liquid is poured through a filter, what happens?

Answer 1

The filter is a material with lots of tiny holes, that only the water can fit through. So flakes of leaf wont be in the water because it couldnt fit through the holes in the filter.

The leaf flakes (periods) dont go through the filter (slash) but water (hiphens) does

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A filter contains tiny pores through which a liquid is able to seep through leaving behind the impurities present in it.

These impurities remain intact to the filter and they get separated out from the liquid.

Hence, when we pour a liquid through a filter then only the liquid passes through the filter and rest of the impurities if present in the liquid remain in the filter and doesn't passes through it.
