A student wants to obtain pure water from sea water. Which process should the student use, and why?
Filtration, because the dissolved salt is left behind in the filter paper
Crystallisation, because the water evaporates and leaves the salt behind
Simple distillation, because the water evaporates and is then condensed
Chromatography, because the water travels further up the paper than the salt
