Question

How will you separate sugar from a mixture of sugar and water?

Answer 1

Evaporation: Evaporation is the separation method which is used to separate soluble solids in liquids.

• There are many solids that dissolve in water .salt and sugar dissolve completely in water.
• Evaporation is the process of converting water into water vapour.
• The process of evaporation is used to recover a solid component that has dissolved in water or some other liquid.
• The dissolved solid is left behind as a residue when the liquid evaporates.
• Hence evaporation is used to separate sugar from water.
