Question

Name the method used for the separation of the mixture of common salt from seawater.

Answer 1

Separation of mixtures:

• The process of separation of different constituents of a mixture using physical methods is known as the separation of mixtures.

The separation of the mixture of common salt from seawater:

Simple evaporation:

• This method is used for separating common salt from seawater by heating it.
• In this process, water having a low boiling point gets evaporated first from the mixture and can be cool in a separate container.
• The common salt does not get evaporated due to its high boiling point and stays behind.

Conclusion:
Therefore, evaporation is a method that will be used for the separation of the mixture of common salt from seawater.
