Question

Name the method used to separate soluble solids from liquids.

Answer 1

Distillation

Simple distillation is a method for separating soluble solids from liquids.

For example, salt can be separated from the water solution by simple distillation. This method works because water has a much lower boiling point than salt.

• On heating, a component with a low boiling point gets evaporated and separated in another container.

So, Distillation is the method used to separate soluble solids from liquids.
