Question

Crystallization, evaporation and distillation is a mean of:

• A. separating soluble substances in solution.
• B. separating insoluble substances in solutions.
• C. separating filtrate from solution
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A separating soluble substances in solution.

Crystallization is a chemical solid–liquid separation technique, in which mass transfer of a solute from the liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs.

Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance.

Distillation is a process of separating the component or substances from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation.
