what is the difference between the processes of evaporation and filtering?​

Sagot :

Evaporation and filtering are both methods used to separate substances, but they work differently and are used for different types of mixtures:

1. Evaporation:

- Process:

This involves heating a liquid until it turns into vapor, leaving behind any dissolved solids.

- Use:

It's typically used to separate a dissolved solid from a liquid. For example, getting salt from saltwater.

- Example:

Boiling water to leave behind salt crystals.

2. Filtering:

- Process:

This involves passing a mixture through a filter (like paper or mesh) to separate solids from liquids or gases.

- Use:

It's used to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid or gas.

- Example:

Using a coffee filter to separate coffee grounds from liquid coffee.

In short, evaporation separates based on differences in boiling points, while filtering separates based on particle size.
