A mixture containing two salts of different solubility can be separated by

A.

chromatography

B.

crystallization

C.

distillation

D.

evaporation

Correct answer is B

Crystallization is a separation technique that exploits differences in the solubilities of components in a solution. When a solution is allowed to cool or evaporate under controlled conditions, one of the salts may begin to crystallize out of the solution before the other due to its lower solubility. This process can be used to separate the salts based on their differing solubilities and crystal formation.
