You are given an aqueous solution of NaCl. The simplest method for the separation of NaCl from the solution is:
A. evaporation of the solution to dryness
B. centrifuging the solution
C. osmosis of the solution
D. electrolysis of the solution
E. filtration of the solution
Answer (2)
A: evaporating the solution to dryness
The simplest method for separating NaCl from an aqueous solution is evaporation of the solution to dryness. This process involves heating the solution until the water evaporates, leaving the solid salt behind. Other methods, such as centrifugation, osmosis, electrolysis, or filtration, are not effective for this purpose.
