A non-volatile solid solute may be separated from a solution by which of the following processes?

I. Evaporation

II. Crystallization

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Both Evaporation and Crystallization are standard physical techniques used to separate a non-volatile solid solute from a liquid solvent.

• Evaporation: This method involves heating the solution until the solvent escapes as vapor, leaving the solid solute behind. It is widely used for recovering salts from solutions.
• Crystallization: This process involves obtaining a solid in its pure crystal form from a solution. It is often preferred over simple evaporation because it produces a purer substance and avoids the potential decomposition of heat-sensitive solids that might occur during boiling.

Since both processes are effective for the separation of a non-volatile solid from a liquid medium, both statements I and II are correct.
