A mixture of salt and sugar can be separated by using an organic solvent to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar is dissolved, it can be separated by filtering the salt from the liquid sugar,then recrystallise both solutions to from back their original crystals.

∙ 11y agono how would you tell the difference from salt and sugar after evaporation?

∙ 15y agoPass the solution through an ultrafiltration membrane, and the sugar stays on the upstream side. Evaporate the salt+water solution, and the salt does not evaporate. Condense the water.

Can you separate water from sugar using filtration?
because sugar and salt are soluble to water it cannot be seperated by filtration but can by evaporation. in filtration it cannot seperate becasue it has been broken down into tiny particles and it pass through the filter being used.
Could evaporation be used to separate salt and water?
Yes it can be used to evaporate the water which will leave the salt
What physical property can you used to separate the sugar from the mixture?
You can evaporate the water from the sugar.
Which tool could be used to separate sugar from water?
Heat. The water will evaporate and leave the sugar behind.
Describe a pocedure that could be used to separate a mixture consisting of sand and salt?
Place the mixture in water and separate the sand from the water if you want the salt. alow the water to evaporate, and you have salt and sand separated.
Can water be used to separate salt from surger why or whey not?
yes, because when you add salt and sugar to water and wait for the sugar to disolve, when the water evaporates the sugar goes into the air in the water while the salt stays behind in the pan or w.e
What is used to separate sugar and water?
evaporation is used to separate sugar and water.
Can water be used to separate salt from sugare why or why not?
A mixture of salt and sugar can be separated by using an organic solvent to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar is dissolved, it can be separated by filtering the salt from the liquid sugar,then recrystallise both solutions to from back their original crystals.
What technique is used to separate salt and sugar?
Any of the three types of chromatography (column , thin - layer or paper) can be used to separate the salt from sugar and vice-verse !
What should be used to separate salt water?
Salt water is a solution (when one substance is evenly mixed into another liquid [usually water] e.g. sugar water), and to separate a solution is a pot or bowl and a fire or stove. Simply boil the water, wait for it to evaporate and you have salt.
Can you separate water from sugar using filtration?

Can you used filtation to separate salt?
No, it cannot separate salt from a salt solution. This is because salt is soluble in water.
What can be used to separate salt water?
Boil water
How can you separate salt and sugar?
Organic SolventsBenzene and other solvents will dissolve sugar, but not salt. Salt is slightly soluble in ethanol, but this method can be used for experiments. Add the mixture to ethanol and strain out the salt with filter paper. Evaporating the ethanol will leave the sugar behind.Water Solution First in a large glass of cold water and mix the "Salt+Sugar" you have there.Then wait until some solid particles form on the bottom of the glass.Carefully take the water out of the glass.The solid particles are SUGARThen the water is SALT+WATERTake the "Salt+Water" and boil it until there is no more water.Then you will end with just SALT (hot salt...)In theory, if a water solution is cooled, sugar crystals should precipitate before the salt, but this is difficult to control experimentally.
What equipment can be used to separate salt water?
To separate salt water into salt and fresh water you can use:a distillation apparatus, ora reverse osmosis process
How can the crystalline substances be removed?
This sounds like a physical separation question where the student receives a beaker of sand and salt or sand and sugar and is asked to separate the two substances. The technique is to filter the mixture with water. The sand stays in the funnel, but the salt or sugar crystals dissolve in the water and are pulled through to the flask below. If you need to separate the salt or sugar from the water used for filtration, use a hotplate and evaporation dish to boil away the water.
Could evaporation be used to separate salt and water?
Yes it can be used to evaporate the water which will leave the salt
