Lesson: Chapter 3 — Mixtures

3.4. Separation at work 1 of 4

Question 1

Which two separation techniques does a saltern use?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Evaporation and crystallisation. Solar heat evaporates the water to concentrate the solution, and each salt crystallises out as its own saturation point is passed.

Both are from section 3.3 of this chapter. Nothing new was needed to explain an industry that has run for centuries.

Answer the question to continue.
