There is some sodium nitrate dissolved in water. You have to obtain the sodium nitrate. Now, I know that normally you can use evaporation to get the solute. However, sodium nitrate may explode if heated.
We have learned about the following separation techniques:
Filtration
Evaporation
Crystallisation
Simple Distillation
Fractional Distillation
Separating Funnel
Chromatography
I thought about crystallization but don't you need a saturated solution (and therefore have to heat it to make it) for crystallization to take place. On the other hand, would chromatography separate these?
So how can you separate the sodium nitrate from the solution?
