SEPARATING SOLUBLE SOLIDS FROM LIQUIDS:
Evaporation and Condensation:
Evaporation is the process of converting liquid into its vapour form. It is used to recover
the dissolved solid components from a solution.
Condensation is the process in which water vapour converts back to its liquid form
Example: Salt i s obtained
by evaporating sea water.
Distillation:
The process in which a pure liquid is obtained from a solution by evaporating the liquid
and then condensing the vapours is called distillation. The pure liquid obtained after
distillation is known as distillate.
Example: By distillation of sea water, we can get pure water as the distillate and salt as
the residue.
