Question

What type of mixtures are separated by the technique of crystallisation?

Answer 1

Crystallisation:

• “Crystallisation is a method of separating a solid from its liquid solution in the form of pure crystals.”
• It can be done in two ways - by evaporation technique or by cooling technique.

Mixtures separated by Crystallisation:

• This method is used to separate a solid-liquid mixture.
• When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, it can be separated from the mixture by evaporating the mixture that leaves behind crystals of the solid.
