• What are the different methods of separation techniques mentioned?

  • Filtration
  • Evaporation
  • Distillation
• What is a solvent?

  The liquid in which the solute dissolves to form a solution
• What is the process of evaporation used for in separation techniques?

  To separate a soluble solid from its solution by forming crystals
• What happens during evaporation?

  A liquid changes state and turns into a gas
• How are crystals formed during evaporation?

  By evaporating the solution to a smaller volume and then cooling it
