Question

Describe evaporation process for separating dissolved salts from water.

Answer 1

Answer:

Separating the solvent from a solution – simple distillation

1Salt solution is heated.

Water evaporates and its vapours rise. The water vapour passes into the condenser, where it cools and condenses. Liquid water drips into a beaker.

All the water has evaporated from the salt solution, leaving the salt behind.
