Q

What is Decantation?

A

Is the process of letting a substance sit and then the solids will drop to the bottom and then would allow you to pour liquid out slowly separating the liquid from the solid until it is all gone.

Q

What is Evaporation?

A

Is when you boil the liquid from the solid and the liquid turns into water vapour leaving the solid behind, but the two different things must have different boiling points for it to work.

Q

What is Distillation?

A

Is like evaporation but the liquid is captured in another container, the process of distillation can only work if the two things have different boiling points.
