This is good for separating a liquid from a solution. For example, water can be separated from salty water by simple distillation. This method works because the water evaporates from the solution, but is then cooled and condensed into a separate container. The salt does not evaporate and so it stays behind.

Can evaporating be used to remove solids?

Depending on what type of solid it is. For example if the solid is ice then yes, But if the solid is a chicken leg then no.


What are the process of separating the undissolved solid form the liquid component?

The process of separating undissolved solids from a liquid is called filtration. In filtration, the mixture is passed through a filter medium such as filter paper or a sieve, allowing the liquid to pass through while retaining the solid particles. The solid particles that are left behind on the filter medium are known as the residue, while the liquid that passes through is called the filtrate.


what other method of separating a liquid from a solid did you learn today other than filtration?

Methods of separating a solid and liquid rather than filtration. (a)When a solid and liquid are soluble,a method know as evaporation is used.When this mixture is heated,the liquid will evaporate and the solid will be left and obtained after evaporation. (b)When the mixture is insoluble,it is separated by use of decantation.The mixture is given some time to settle and the liquid is poured into another beaker and the the solid is left in the initial beaker.


Which of the following is an example of a phase change from liquid to solid?

Frost is a phase change of a gas to a solid (deposition). Water vapor turns directly to ice.


What do you call turning a solid into a liquid and the liquid back into a solid?

Ice is a solid and when melted it turns into a liquid freeze it again and it is solid

Which method is better for separating mixture evaporation or filtration?

If you have a solid precipitate /liquid mixture filtration is the better method of recovering the solid as any contaminant in the liquid can potentially be washed out. Evaporating the liquid to remove it would just deposit whatever residues there were onto the precipitate.


Is a dry ice evaporating a physical change?

Of course. If you can change the solid to a gas you can turn the gas into a liquid then you can change the liquid into a solid. It is called changes of matter.


Why are the states of matter a solid or a liquid or a gas?

the are condensation and evaporating and freezing


A liquid with a solid dissolved in it is called a solution How might you get a solid back from a solution?

You can get the solid back from a solution by evaporating the liquid to leave behind the solid. Alternatively, you could also use techniques like filtration or crystallization to separate the solid from the liquid in the solution.
