Best Answer

Recrystallisation, as it is solid at room temperature, but is soluble at elevated temperatures.

Distillation requires boiling, so distillation of solid aspirin is not appropriate, in the general sense.

What are the separation techniques for separating salt water from seawater?

Distillation can be used to separate water from salt water.


How to separate H2O and NaCl?

Two methods are: - distillation - crystallization/recrystallization


What is the best method for separating?

Examples: filtration, centrifugation, crystallization and recrystallization, distillation, sedimentation, freze drying, ion exchange, etc. Filtration and distillation are most common.

What are process during desalination of sea water osmosis reverse osmosis use of sodium aluminium or none?

Generally distillation or evaporation/recrystallization are important methods.


What is the purpose of the sublimation and recrystallization steps?

Recrystallization and Sublimation are two commonly encountered methods of Purification. Several of these are done in the laboratory to obtain a pure sample of a particular organic compound. Recrystallization literally means to crystallize again. Sublimation involves heating the compound at low pressure from one apparatus and and condensing it in another. This is quite the same as distillation but of solid state.


How can solutes be separated from solvents?

The most common one is filtration, but centrifugation and reverse osmosis could also work.

When doing recrystallization what observations would prompt you to perform hot filtration?

The process of recrystallization typically involves the dissolving of a crude solid in a recrystallization solvent by heating up the mixture. For crystallization to begin the crude solid has to dissolve completely so if it is observed that the crude solid has not completely dissolved a hot filtration step is required to separate the solids that are suspended.


Why is it necessary to dry residual water with calcium chloride before distillation of tert-butyl chloride?

Tert-butyl chloride is not soluble in water. A solution is necessary to perform a distillation.
