Question

Salt can be obtained from sea water by ______________.

Answer 1

Salt can be obtained from seawater by evaporation.

Evaporation is the process of converting water into water vapor.

• The process of evaporation is used to recover a solid component that has dissolved in water or some other liquid.
• Seawater has common salt dissolved in it, in order to separate common salt from seawater, seawater is trapped in shallow pools and is left in the sun for a long.
• Evaporates all the water leaving the salts behind.
• Hence Evaporation is the method to obtain salt from seawater.
