Question 5
Salt can be separated from its solution (salt dissolved in water) because
(a) mixing of salt in water is a change that can be reversed by heating and melting of salt
(b) mixing of salt in water is a change that cannot be reversed
(c) mixing of salt in water is a permanent change
(d) mixing of salt in water is a change that can be reversed by evaporation
The common salt dissolved in water can be separated by the process of evaporation in which the water gets evaporated and the salt is left out. Hence, option (d) is correct.
