Can a mixture of powdered salt and sugar can be separated by winnowing?
NO
How do you separate sand salt and sawdust into pure states?
If all three are mixed together you can separate the sawdust from the group with a Sieve filter with holes smaller than the sawdust, but larger than the sand/salt particles. You could then use another sieve, if the sand and salt particles are significantly different in size,...OR add water to the mix....the salt will dissolve into solution leaving the sand behind. Pour off the water and let it evaporate, leaving the salt behind. Put the mixture of sand, salt and sawdust into a quantity of water: the sand will sink to the bottom, sawdust will float and salt will dissolve. Skim off (and dry) the floating sawdust. Pour off the water containing the dissolved salt. This is then heated to cause all the water to evaporate (leaving behind the salt). The remaining residue in the original container (wet sand) can now be dried off with heat.
How is rock salt separated industrially?
Rock salt is mined as a solid in salt mines. it does not need to be separated.
How do you separate sawdust from salt and sand without using water?
If the particles are each of different size, these compounds may be separated based on two selective filtrations using appropriately-sized sieves. If this process is not possible, than separation may be accomplished by dissolving the salt in another polar solvent such as liquid ammonia or methanol (about 1 or 2 grams of NaCl will dissolve per 100mL of these solvents). The sand and sawdust could then be separated using their density, as the sawdust would float and the sand would sink. Evaporation the solvent would yield the solid salt.
Why does salt separated from a salt water solution look different than the salt that dissolves in the water?
The separated salt is a crystalline solid; the dissolved salt is dissociated in ions.
Can a mixture of powdered salt and sugar can be separated by winnowing?
NO
Is sugar heavier than salt?
Yes
What is difference between winnowing and sieving?
winnowing is the separation of solid-solid separated by size and weight whereas sieving is the separation solid-liquid judged by shape and size.
How can you separate a mixture of sand salt and sawdust?
Add water to the mixture. The sand will sink to the bottom, the wood will float to the top and the salt will dissolve in the water.
What allows a mixture to be separated into its components?
Hand Pricking, sedimentation, decantation, magnetic sepration, filteration, winnowing, sieving.
Can you filter it to separate salt sawdust and gravel?
Yes, assuming you have no gravel smaller than the sawdust. Just think about it for a second.

Why A mixture can be separated by sieving but not by winnowing or handpicking give reason?
due to different size of particles during milling process
What happened when sawdust or sugar or salt is added to ice cube?
it melts

Rock salt is mined as a solid in salt mines. it does not need to be separated.
