The component of a solution ( say sugar in water ) can be sepreated
Dear Student,
The components of a solution are solute and solvent. Solute is a minor component in the solution which dissolved in solvent and the solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical fluid. If we take example of solution like sugar and water or salt and water, here in both solutions the solvent is water and solutes are sugar and salt. These solution can easily be separated by the process of distillation, evaporation and crystallization. Distillation is a process that separates substances based on their different boiling points. When we boil sugar and water solution, the water turns to steam and leaves the sugar behind. You can collect the steam to capture the water, effectively separating the sugar and water. The separation of sugar and water from their solution involves all three processes distillation, evaporation and crystallization.
Regards
