The process that turns sea water into fresh water is?

When you boil salt water, the salt will be left behind as a solid. You can collect the water by distillation. For example, if you boil the salt water in a pot with a lid, and leave the lid at an angle, the evaporated water will collect there and fall off - so you can collect it.Desalination is a process that removes some of the salt from water - making sea water drinkable.


When making spaghetti sauce simmer with lid on?

It is better to simmer with the lid off. The purpose of simmering the sauce is to reduce it, or to boil some of the water out of it so that the flavors in the remaining sauce are more concentrated. If you leave the lid on, then droplets of water will form on the underside of the lid and will fall back into your sauce, defeating the purpose of simmering for a long time.

How do you separate the sugar from the water?

Assuming that the sugar has dissolved into the water: To separate the sugar, you can boil off all of the water, and most if not all of the sugar should be at the bottom of whatever the solution is being held in. To do this, you can simply put you beaker/pot/pan/on a stove or Bunsen Burner, and heat it up until it is boiling. Let it continue to boil until there is no water left. If there is a little water left, it should continue to cook off if you turn off the heat, and it should dry out anyways after a while.
