evaporation

Cards (7)

  • evaporation occurs when a liquid slowly turns into a gas below its boiling point
  • crystallisation is a separation technique used to obtain crystals of solid solute
  • when a solution is heated, the solvent of evaporation and the crystals of the solute are left behind
  • evaporation describes the process of a liquid turning into gas
  • evaporation is a slower process than boiling because it occurs at the temperature lower than the boiling point
  • evaporation occurs at all temperatures, boiling happens at a fixed temperature depending on the liquid
  • crystallisation is similar to the evaporation technique used to separate a solid solute from a solution
