Question

What is meant by residue?

Answer 1

1. During the separation of solid in liquid mixture, we obtain the solid and liquid separately.
2. We can separate solid-liquid mixture using filtration, distillation, or evaporation.
3. Residue: The residue is the solid material remaining after distillation, evaporation, or filtration.
4. It is a solid byproduct which is dissolved in the liquid.
5. The distillate or filtrate is the recovered liquid component, whereas the residue is the solid component.
