Evaporation is a process that uses heat to separate dissolved solids from liquids. A solution is heated so that the solvent evaporates, leaving the solid behind. Table salt is created through the evaporation of sea water, where the water evaporates and salt crystals are left behind.

Pan, water, table salt,
stove or any cooking device,
clean jar

32. Procedures
1. Heat a pan of water.

3. Take the pan off the heat. Pour in about ¼ - ½ cup (60-120ml)Of
your salt and stir until the water is clear. If you don’t see any salt
grains in the water, stir in another spoonful. Keep stirring more salt
until you see salt grains that won’t dissolve when you stir.

39. “How would you describe
the process of separating
mixture through evaporation
using the activity on making
salt”?

40. Evaporation occurs everyday, both in natural and
manmade environments. Evaporation occurs
most often in the oceans around the world .One by
product of evaporation can be used to seas from
the season your food. Salt is extracted from the seawater
by allowing the water to evaporate over
long periods of time. The salt that gives salt water its
saline taste is left behind. Salt ponds evaporate
slowly at normal temperatures. The salt left over from
the evaporated ponds is then used to make
table salt.

41. Evaporation is the process by which water
and other liquids changes from a liquid state
to a vapour or gas state. Evaporation is great
for separating a mixture (solution) of a soluble
solid and a solvent. The process involves
heating the solution until the solvent
evaporates (turns into gas) leaving behind the
solid residue.

42. Direction: From the short information that you have read, answer
the following questions on the blank provided. Answer them in your
notebook.
1. What is evaporation?
2. What is needed to achieve evaporation process?
3. Give 3 examples of situation where evaporation
process was observed.
4. What kind of material was left behind when mixture
was heated?
5. What kind of change is involve in evaporation
process?

43. Write E if the following conditions undergo the
evaporation technique of separating mixtures
and N if not.
1. water in the canal becomes less after the rain
2. doormat on the floor - ___________
3. wet hair becomes dry - ___________
4. chair on the ground - ___________
5. cooling after sweating - __________

44. To get the salt back from the salt water,
the solution is heated to boiling point. As
it boils, the water escapes as vapour
(gas). After sometime, all the water
evaporates, leaving a layer of salt at the
bottom of the beaker.
