Suman K.
In both industry and research there are often times when one particular component of a mixture needs to be separated from a solution. Maybe it is a rare metal that is dissolved in a mixture of minerals. Maybe it is a particular protein from lysed plant cells. If the desired component is volatile, distillation could be used. But if the goal is to separate ions in solution, fractional precipitation is preferred. a. True b. False
