How can sugar be separated from a homogeneous mixture of sugar and water
How can sugar be separated from a homogeneous mixture of sugar and water a. crystallization b. by the action of a magnet c. distillation d. filtering e. by chromatography
Sugar from an aqueous solution can be isolated by the following methods:
a. crystallization – when the water evaporates, sugar crystals will remain in the vessel;
с. distillation – as in the previous case, during evaporation and distillation of water, sugar crystals will remain in the original vessel (evaporator).
The magnet does not work on the water solution of sugar. Filtration of the solution will prevent the dissolved sugar from separating. With the help of chromatography, theoretically, it is possible to separate sugar and obtain pure water at the output, but the sugar itself will remain in the chromatographic column and additional manipulations will be required to extract it.
