📖 Comprehensive Note
Crystallization is a method used to separate a soluble solid from its solution by forming crystals. It involves evaporating the solution to a smaller volume and then leaving it to cool. As the solution cools, crystals form. These are collected by filtration. Example: Obtaining salt crystals from seawater.

| When crystals must shine, from solutions they grow | Crystals form from a solution when conditions are right. |
| We heat and we cool, till their shapes start to show | Heating evaporates solvent, cooling lets crystals form. |
| One way to separate a soluble solid from its solution is to make crystals | Definition of crystallization. |
| Evaporating the solution to a smaller volume | Reduces solvent, increasing concentration. |
| Leaving it to cool | Allows crystals to grow slowly and properly. |
| As the solution cools, crystals form | Describes the visible result of the process. |
| Crystals can be obtained by filtration | Separates solid crystals from remaining liquid. |
| Salt from sea water | Example: Crystallization of salt. |
