How can we separate sugar solution into the sugar and water?

Open in App
Solution

The easiest way to separate a mixture of sugar and water is to use distillation, a process that separates substances based on their different boiling points. Sugar does not boil, but the point at which it crystallizes (320 degrees Fahrenheit) is much higher than the boiling point of water (212 degrees Fahrenheit), so when you boil a mixture of sugar and water, the water turns to steam and leaves the sugar behind. You can collect the steam to capture the water, effectively separating the sugar and water.
