Evaporation

Used to separate a Once the mixture has been left to evaporate -separating water and
soluble solid from a some of the solvent, the mixture can be dry copper sulfate
solution. separated by crystallisation. As solution forms, crystals
the solvent can’t hold all the solute so it leaves
forming crystals.

Crystallisation
This is used for This works as when heating mixture the -separating salt from
separating a solvent evaporates and boils but the solute water

steps as simple distillation. The difference liquid separating them
between the two types of distillation is that out.)
fractional distillation has a long fractionating
