Salt is dissolved into a water solvent. Can the salt be extracted, and will it retain its properties?

Question

A. Yes, it can be extracted through evaporation. It retains it original properties
B. No, it cannot be extracted through any means. It does not retain its original properties
C. Yes, it can be extracted through evaporation. It does not retain its original properties
D. No, it cannot be extracted through any means. It retains its original properties

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A. Yes, it can be extracted through evaporation. It retains its original properties.

When salt (sodium chloride) is dissolved in water, it forms a solution, but the salt can be recovered by evaporating the water. Once the water evaporates, the salt will be left behind in its solid form, retaining its original chemical and physical properties.
