Difference between sedimentation and evaporation
Sedimentation |
Evaporation |
Sedimentation is a process which contains an sediment settled down at the bottom, that is insoluble impurity. | Evaporation is the process where the liquid is converted into vapours. |
In these process one substance settle down at the bottom of flask and the upper substance can be separated by pouring | The temperature of the liquid body decrease after evaporation, as evaporation leads to cooling. |
It involves two phases – solid and liquid which are not completely soluble | Evaporation contains one liquid phase |
In the Sedimentation impurity settled down called sediment, and soluble substances is with liquid. | Evaporation takes place on the liquid surface. |
Example of Sedimentation – Insoluble mixture of soil and water – Soil settle as sediment and some soluble part with liquid water above it.
|
Example of the evaporation is –
Drying wet clothes under the sunlight. And Formation of salt.
