What is crystallisation used to separate?

• A soluble solute from a solvent

• A solvent from an insoluble solute

• A gas from a liquid

• A liquid from a gas

What happens to the solvent during crystallisation?

• It freezes

• It evaporates

• It condenses

• It solidifies

What is left behind after the solvent evaporates in the crystallisation process?

• Gas bubbles

• Liquid droplets

• Solute crystals

• Condensed water

Why do crystals have distinct shapes?

• Because the solvent particles lock into one another like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

• Because the solute particles lock into one another like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

• Because the solution particles lock into one another like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

• Because the salt particles lock into one another like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

What happens to a saltwater solution as the solvent evaporates?

• The solution becomes less concentrated.

• The solution becomes more diluted.

• The solution becomes more and more concentrated.

• The solution remains the same.
