Question 9 • Physical Science

Hana fills a cup with sandy ocean water. She pours the mixture through a filter. What does she collect that passes through the filter?

Answer
A
a suspension of sand in water
B
a colloid of salt in water
C
a solution of salt in water
D
a sample of pure water

Explanation

The filter traps the larger, undissolved sand particles. Salt dissolved in the water passes through with the water, forming a solution of salt in water. The water is not pure because it still contains dissolved salt.
