Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of filtration: Filtration is a process used to separate solids from liquids or gases using a filter medium that allows only the fluid to pass through.
Identify the role of a filter medium: The filter medium is a crucial component in filtration as it acts as a barrier that separates the solid particles from the fluid.
Recognize that other options like a magnetic stirrer, heat source, or condenser are not directly involved in the basic process of filtration.
Consider the practical setup of a filtration process: Typically, a filter paper or a similar porous material is used as the filter medium in a funnel to separate the components of a mixture.
Conclude that the essential requirement for filtration is the presence of a filter medium, which is the correct answer to the problem.
