Question

You are given sugar solution in laboratory. Select the fastest way of separating sugar from its solution.

• A. Evaporation at room temperature.
• B. Evaporation by solar heat.
• C. Evaporation on a Bunsen burner.
• D. All the above methods are equally efficient.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Evaporation on a Bunsen burner.

Evaporation at room temperature or by solar heat evaporation will take days for separating sugar from sugar solution. But boiling off the water on Bunsen flame is a much faster way to recover sugar.
