Solution

We can separate a solid from a liquid by the process of 'Evaporation'. This process is based on the fact that liquids vaporize easily while solid do not. In this process, a solution of a solid and a liquid is heated, molecules of liquid start evaporating and solid substance starts to settle down in the jar. After complete evaporation of liquid, the solid substance can easily be extracted.
