CASE: Separating the components of seawater

Student A is given the task of designing an experiment to separate and collect the components of a sample of seawater, NaCl (aq). They are provided with standard laboratory apparatus. Following the experiment, the student recorded the following data for analysis.

The initial volume of seawater=200.00 cm3
The volume of water recovered=196 cm3
Mass of salt NaCl recovered= 68.8 g

The student in their research for a laboratory report discovered the following facts.

  Sodium chloride Water
Molar mass (g mol-1) 58.44 18.02
Solubility in water (g/100 cm3) 35.9 -
Boiling point (°C) 1413 100
Appearance White crystalline substance Colourless liquid
