to separate sodium chloride:
use the method of electrolysis.
as we put sodium chloride i the test tube the Na and the Cl start separating because of the current passed: the chlorine attract to cathode as the poles are unlike.
and the sodium attract to the anode because of unlike poles.
cathode id basically a - cell. and anode is a positive one
remember: the reason why sodium attract to anode is becoz its negative in nature whereas chlorine is positive in nature( except hydrogen all gases are positive in nature)
(and the metal is always negative)

∙ 15y agoSodium Chloride and Sodium Nitrate are both solids. The scientific formula for separating a mixture of two solids dissolved in water is very simple. You may either do so by means of chromatography or fractional crystallization. Depending on each substances density ( SC=2.16 g/cm3. SN= 2.26 g/cm3), they will appear before or after each.

Be careful, Sodium will burn when exposed to water and oxygen. It will also burn slowly in air due to water vapor. Chlorine is a toxic gas that can make you unconscious in seconds and kill you in minutes.
If it's not obvious from the above: this is notsomething you can do at home. If you need chlorine, you're better off buying it from a specialty gas supply company.

How many ways can i separate sand and sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is soluble in water.
Water and sodium chloride separate at what temperature?
They separate at the boiling point of water, 100o Celsius, because the water boils away and the sodium chloride is left behind.
Can dissolved salt separate into sodium and chloride when it has electrical current running through it?
Sodium Chloride dissolved in water will form sodium but sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, molten sodium chloride will do it .
How do you separate sodium chloride from the solution in water?
Evaporating the water crystallized sodium chloride is obtained.
How can you use water to separate two substance like carbon n sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is soluble in water and carbon not.
Why is an aqueous solution of sodium chloride not used to separate sodium from sodium chloride?
Because metallic sodium reacts quickly and violently with water.
What temperature will water and sodium chloride separate?
At any temperature over 0 0C water is evaporated and sodium chloride remain as crystals.
How do you separate sodium chloride and lead chloride?
Dissolve the mixture in water. The precipitate is lead chloride. By filtering the solution and followed by evaporation, sodium chloride can be extracted.
Why do sodium chloride ions separate in water?
After the sodium chloride dissolves in the water, the mixture can be filtered and the carbon residue then rinsed with clean water and allowed to dry. The sodium chloride will reform as solid crystals after the water has evaporated from the filtrate.
How could you separate sodium chloride from water?
Water is deleted by heating and evaporation.
How do you separate a mixture of sand sodium chloride and barium chloride?
first, add water to the mixture, barium chloride is soluble in water. then filter through and funnel and filter funnel. then add sodium sulphate, using the stove they will expand and separate. ( sodium cloride, and sand
How do you separate sodium chloride from calcium carbonate?
Dissolve the sodium chloride(which is actually salt) in water. Then, filter the calcium carbonate with the help of filter paper. Crystallize the solution of sodium chloride with water... Hope this helps! :)
