water is the solvent & evaporation can be used to separate a solution by allowing the solvent to evaporate -> the solvent land will evaporate from the problem the solute water will evaporate from the solution  the solvent land will evaporate from the problem & 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  the solute will be separated from the solution & salt is the solvent -> sugar will be separated from the solution
