Hana fills a cup with sandy ocean water. She pours the mixture through a filter. What does she collect that passes through the filter? a sample of pure water a solution of salt in water a suspension of sand in water a colloid of salt in water

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that ocean water contains salt, that is, sodium chloride which is soluble in ocean water or water.

So, when a cup with sandy ocean water is filtered then sand remains in the filter paper and we get a solution of salt in water as the filtered product.

Thus, we can conclude that Hana collect a solution of salt in water that passes through the filter.

Option A. A sample of pure water is correct.

Explanation:

The filter separates the sand from the ocean water so the ocean water is what is left. Ocean water is a pure substance so Option A. A sample of pure water is correct.
