Question

What is the process of crystallization?

Answer 1

Crystallization:

• Crystallization is the process of separating solid compounds from the solution in the form of crystals.
• This method is mainly employed for the separation of a solid in pure form from the solution.
• It is a physical change.

Process of crystallization:

• Firstly the solution is heated and the solvent molecules start to evaporate.
• As the solution begins to cool down the pure substance starts to form crystals, which gets collected at the surface of the solution.
• The crystals are then collected and dried.

The crystallization process is described below:
