Question 15 • Physical Science

Which explains one reason evaporation can be used to separate a mixture?

Answer
A
The desired component has the smallest particles in the mixture.
B
The mixture is a solution that contains a substance that will crystallize out.
C
The desired component has a different density from the other components.
D
The desired component has a higher boiling point than the other components.

Explanation

Evaporation separates a dissolved substance from a solution when the liquid solvent evaporates and the dissolved substance remains, often forming crystals. This matches choice B: the mixture contains a substance that will crystallize out. Particle size and density are not the key properties used in this separation method.
