Detailed Solution

  • Crystallisation is a technique that is commonly used to purify impure solids.
  •  It involves dissolving the impure solid in a suitable solvent and then allowing the solvent to evaporate slowly under controlled conditions of temperature and concentration. 
  • As the solvent evaporates, the concentration of the solute in the solution increases, and eventually, the solute starts to crystallize out. 
  • The resulting crystals are usually purer than the original solid because impurities tend to remain in the solution rather than crystallizing out with the solute.
