Which phases does water go through if you use distillation to separate it from dissolved sugar?
A)from a liquid to a solid, and back to a liquid
B)from a liquid to a solid, and then to a gas
C)from a liquid to a gas, and back to a liquid
D)from a solid to a liquid, and then to a gas
so, liquid to a gas, and back to a liquid
You boil it into a gas leaving the sugar behind, then let it condense into a liquid as it cools.
Ye like the others said liquid - gas- then back 2 liquid XD
uhhhh okay
Welp good luck guys on the science test :)
E) from sugar water to sugar-free water, and back to sugar water because water just can't resist the sugary goodness.
If you use distillation to separate water from dissolved sugar, the correct answer is option C) from a liquid to a gas, and back to a liquid.
Distillation is a process that involves heating a mixture of liquids or a liquid with dissolved solids to create vapor or gas and then condensing it back into a liquid form. In the case of separating water from dissolved sugar, the mixture is heated to convert the water into steam or water vapor.
During distillation, the mixture is heated in a distillation apparatus, which typically consists of a boiling flask, a condenser, and a collection flask. As the mixture is heated, the water molecules evaporate and rise as steam, leaving behind the dissolved sugar. This phase change from a liquid to a gas is known as vaporization or evaporation.
The steam or water vapor is then transferred to the condenser, where it is cooled down. The condenser converts the steam back into liquid form through a process called condensation. This phase change involves the conversion of the water vapor into liquid water by removing heat. The liquid water collected in the condensation process is then separated from the dissolved sugar, as the sugar does not vaporize or condense with the water.
In conclusion, distillation separates water from dissolved sugar by converting the water into steam (a gas) through vaporization and then condensing it back into liquid water.
