Question

Give one property in which a solution of sugar in water resembles a mixture of sugar and sand.

Answer 1

1. Both sugar solutions and mixtures of sugar and sand can be separated into their constituents by physical methods such as evaporation.
2. Evaporation: The process of obtaining a non-volatile soluble solid from its solution by allowing the liquid component to vaporize is called evaporation.
3. A mixture of sugar and sand can be separated by using water as a solvent in which sugar gets dissolved in water and sand remains undisolved.
4. Sand can be separated using filtration.
5. The dissolved sugar can be obtained by evaporating the filtrate containing the sugar solution.
