Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of filtration: Filtration is a process used to separate solids from liquids or gases using a filter medium that allows the fluid to pass through but not the solid particles.
Identify the components involved in filtration: In a typical filtration process, the mixture consists of a solvent, dissolved ions, small dissolved molecules, and suspended solids.
Determine what passes through the filter: The filter medium is designed to allow the passage of solvent molecules, dissolved ions, and small dissolved molecules, as these are small enough to pass through the pores of the filter.
Identify what is retained by the filter: Suspended solids are larger particles that cannot pass through the filter medium and are therefore retained on the filter.
Conclude which component should not be found in the filtrate: Since suspended solids are retained by the filter, they should not be found in the filtrate, which is the liquid that has passed through the filter.
