The most suitable process of obtaining water from an aqueous solution of sugar i
Crystallization
Distillation
Filtration
Decantation
Explication
- Crystallization is primarily employed as a separation technique to obtain pure crystals of a substance from an impure mixture.
- Another important application of crystallization is its use to obtain pure salt from seawater.
- Simple syrup crystallizes when enough of the sugar molecules stick to one another that they become insoluble in the water
note; distillation is used to obtain a solvent from a solution.
