Explanation:
Filtration serves as a method of separation where solid particles that are suspended in a liquid are isolated by passing the mixture through filter paper's pores. This process ensures that the solid particles accumulate on the filter paper and the liquid flows out through the filter paper's pores.
The ordered sequence of the steps provided is:
- Measure and fold the filter paper.
- Insert the filter paper into the funnel, then position the funnel above the Erlenmeyer flask.
- Let the solid/liquid mixture pass through the filter.
- Rinse the filter paper that holds the mixture with water.
- Measure the weight of the dry filter paper along with the copper.
