water is the solvent & evaporation can be used to separate a solution by allowing the solvent to evaporate ->  the solute water will evaporate from the solution  the solute water will evaporate from the solution & if the solvent evaporates, the solute will be separated from the solution ->  the solute will be separated from the solution  the solute will be separated from the solution & sugar is the solute -> sugar will be separated from the solution
