Differentiate between Crystallization and Evaporation
Crystallization is a process in which a solid pure particle comes together in the form of crystals and in case of evaporation the liquid of the solution is removed and we are only left with the salt dissolved in it. Boh crystallization and evaporation are processes used for the purification of the substance and the differences between them are discussed in the table below.

Evaporation |
|---|---|
| Crystallization is the process of formation of solid Crystals Precipitating from a solution, melting, or more rarely deposited directly from a gas. | Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs only on the surface of a liquid. |
| Is used when the soluble solid does not decompose upon strong heating | Is used when the soluble solid contains water of crystallization. |
| Pure solid is collected in the form of crystals. | Any soluble impurities may also be present after evaporation. |
| Example: Forming crystal of Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3.10H2O) | Example: Seawater evaporating and forming clouds. |
Crystallization
Crystallization is a technique for purification of the substances. It is a technique that separates a solid from its solution. The process in which the solid dissolve in the liquid arranges itself in well-defined 3-D structures called the crystal is called crystallization. When any substance undergoes crystallization its molecule arranges itself in a fixed structure at an angle to form a 3-D structure called the crystal and then the crystal is removed from the solution. The crystal is a pure substance and thus the process of crystalization is widely used in the purification of material from its impure solution.
In this article, we will learn about crystallization, the process used for crystallization, its example, and its application in detail in this article.
