Study Notes

Sugar Crystallization

  • Sugar crystals are formed through a process involving evaporation and supersaturation.
  • A thread is hung in a sugar solution, and as evaporation occurs, the solution becomes supersaturated.
  • Sugar starts to adhere to the thread, leading to the formation of sugar crystals.
  • This method of obtaining sugar crystals is known as crystallization.

Common Salt from Sea Water

  • Common salt (sodium chloride) can be extracted from seawater.
  • A flask is filled with seawater and sealed with a cork, ensuring no evaporation loss.
  • Heating the flask causes the water to vaporize, leaving impurities behind.
  • The vapor travels through a delivery tube and is then condensed back into liquid form.
  • The resulting product is distilled water, while salt remains in the flask after evaporation.
