Driving water out of crystals. which piece of equipment are you likely to use. crucible erlenmeyer flask evaporating dish

Driving water out of crystals are crystallization process.

The piece of equipment used are evaporating dish.

Explanation:

Crystallization process

Crystallization is a process of converting crystalline solid state into liquid state. It works both in purification and separation step. Steps involved in the crystallization process are  

        a) Nucleation

        b) Crystal growth

It is the oldest unit operation methods. Methods involved in this process are solvent evaporation, slow cooling, solvent diffusion and sublimation.

Evaporating dish

Evaporating dish is a shallow open container. Evaporating dish is used to heat and evaporate solids. It is made by borosilicate glass or porcelain, which is non-reactive and withstand heat from Bunsen burner.  

The answer is a) carbon-12

C, small, hard spheres with insignificant volumes
