Evaporation

Mixing and Separating (Week 5)

Week 5: Evaporation 

Notes:

This is space for you to take notes

We know from last week, that a solute cannot be filtered from a solution once it has been dissolved. 

This week your task is to find out:

• Why a dissolved solute cannot be filtered?

         The particles after dissolving are too small.

• What evaporation is?

A liquid becoming a gas due to higher temperature or higher pressure. This contributes to the water cycle.

• How can evaporation be used to separate a solute from a solvent in a solution?

When evaporating the dry solute particles will be left behind which separates the solute from the solvent.
