Difference between Decantation and evaporation
Decantation |
Evaporation |
The process of separation of two immiscible liquids by pouring one is called decantation. |
Evaporation is the process where the liquid is converted into vapours. |
In these process two Liquids are immiscible which does not get mixed and form two layers. Which can be separated by removing upper layer. Or filtering lower layer. |
In these process Water or liquid gets turns from liquid to vapours i.e. gaseous state. |
Decantation involves two phases – it May be solid – liquid phase and another may be liquid – liquid phase. |
Evaporation can only turn liquid into vapours. |
In the decantation lighter liquid is floating above the heavier liquid. |
Evaporation takes place from overall liquid over the surface. |
Example for the decantation is – oil and water – oil Being lighter and float over the water which can be poured down and separate the Oil from the water. |
Example of the evaporation is – drying wet clothes under the sunlight. Example of condensation is – Formation of water droplets from the clouds made up of water vapour. |
