Question

In activity, a teacher dissolved a small amount of solid copper sulphate in a tumbler half filled with water. Which method would you use to get back solid copper sulphate from the solution?

(a) Decantation

(b) Evaporation

(c) Sedimentation

(d) Condensation

Answer 1

By the process of evaporation, we can get back solid copper sulfate from the solution.

The process of evaporation for separating a mixture is based on the fact that liquids vaporize easily whereas solids do not vaporize easily.

So, option (b) is the correct answer.
