Answer
Concentration cannot be affected by the filtrate rate because concentration is a measure of the amount of solute per unit volume of solution, and not directly influenced by the rate at which the solution is filtered.
Solution
a
Concentration definition : Concentration is defined as the amount of a substance (solute) present in a certain volume of solvent or solution, and it is usually expressed in terms such as molarity (MM), which is moles of solute per liter of solution
b
Filtrate rate : The filtrate rate refers to the speed at which a solution passes through a filter. It can affect the quantity of the solution that is filtered over a period of time but does not change the ratio of solute to solvent in the remaining solution or the filtrate
Key Concept
Concentration is independent of filtrate rate
Explanation
The concentration of a solution is determined by the amount of solute relative to the volume of solvent, and this ratio remains constant regardless of how quickly or slowly the solution is filtered.
