Question

What is the reason that the mixture of salt and water can be separated by evaporation ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The use of process of evaporation for separating a mixture is based on the fact that liquid vaporise easily whereas solids do not vaporise easily. Evaporation can be made quicker by heating the solution. If we have a mixture of common salt and water, then we cannot separate salt from water by filtration.

Answer 2

Answer:

The separation of salt water mixture into salt water by distillation depends on the fact that the water is volatile liquid which forms vapour ion heating
