You can go to google and type in define:aliquot and get definitions.
1. A part of it. For example, if you have a beaker containing exactly 50.00 mL and you withdraw 25.00 mL of that, you have withdrawn a 25 mL aliquot.
2. When a solid and liquid are mixed and the solid does not dissolve, you can filter the whole thing using a funnel and filter paper. The solid is the residue; the liquid that runs through the paper into the container at the end of the bottom of the funnel is the filtrate.
3. I don't know what the rules are but I usually filter with the liquid level rising to within about 1/2 inch of the top of the filter paper. It depends a little upon how much, if any, of the solid floats and how large the paper and funnel are. In some cases 1/4 inch might be ok. The primary things is you don't want the solid "climbing" over the edge of the paper and getting between the funnel and the paper on the backside of the paper.
Can you please help me with these questions. I tried looking up information online and in my textbook but I could not find sufficient information to help me.
1. What is an aliquot of a sample?
2. What is the filtrate in a gravity procedure?
3. How full (the max level) should a funnel be filled with solution in a filtration procedure?
I would really appreciate it if you could explain this to me.
