What method do you use to separate iron filings from sawdust?
Rachel00
Use a magnet to seperate the iron. Then, add water to dissolve the salt and float the sawdust. Skim off, sieve or filter the solution to seperate the sawdust. Let the water evaporate, leaving the salt behind.

∙ 11y agoUsing magnetism we can separate iron fillings from saw dust.
1. Set it on fire and burn the sawdust away
2. throw it in some water and the iron will sink
3. use a magnet to attract out the iron from the wood
4. sit there and carefully pick it apart using a toothpick
5. gently blow on it so the wind will blow the sawdust away but not the iron

What are the steps to separate iron filings sand and salt?
Hold a magnet over it and the iron will fly out of the salt and stick to it, and the salt will stay there.
Carlos' teacher has asked him to separate a mixture of sand and iron filings. Which of these methods would correctly separate the mixture?
the correct answer would be -( magnetic attraction of one part )
How do you separate a mixture of sand salt chalk dust and amp iron filings.?
First remove iron filings with a magnet. That leaves sand, salt and chalk dust. Add water which dissolves the salt, and filter leaving the sand and chalk dust on the filter paper. Put that back in water and add acid to dissolve the chalk dust (CaCO3) leaving the sand as a solid. Filter to obtain the sand. The chalk dust will now be in the acid as CO2 and H2O and the Ca salt of the acid.
What can you infer about the strength of a magnetic field based upon the position of the iron filings?
The profile of the iron filings reflects that of the magnetic field. When the magnetic field is strong, the lines will be really tight (small separation) and thick (height and width). =========================
How do you find the shape of a magnetic field using a compass?
Yes. I can be done using iron filings and a clear piece of plastic. Pour on the iron filings, put on the plastic, and then the magnet. The iron filings should form the shape of the magnetic field around it. If that does not work, here is a link to a picture... http://www.fi.edu/htlc/teachers/lettieri/magneticfields.jpg Hope that helps.
Explain how you can use physical properties to separate filings from sawdust?
If they are iron filings, you can use the property of magnetism to remove the iron filings using a magnet. You will need to rinse the iron filings with water after you remove them with the magnet in order to completely remove the sawdust from them.
How will you separate the components of a mixtures containing sawdust sugar and iron filings?
Use a magnet to separate the iron filings, filter the remaining sawdust and sugar water solution, evaporate the water from the sugar water solution.
How will separate the components of a mixture containing sawdust sugar and iron filings?
Use a magnet to separate the iron filings, filter the remaining sawdust and sugar water solution, evaporate the water from the sugar water solution.
How would you separate a mixture of sand sawdust iron filings and sugar?
water and a magnet
How do you seperate a mixture of iron filling and sawdust?
You have to use a magnet to collect the Iron Filings
What technique will use to separate ashes and iron filings with water?
separate iron filings AND ash from water by filtration or evaporation then, if required, separate iron filings from ash by using a magnetic field,
Can sieving method be used to separate iodine crystals and iron filling?
Highly doubtful - since you might get some crystals the same size as the iron filings. Your best method would be to use a magnet to remove the filings from the crystals.
What is the separation method for iron filings and sulphur to obtain iron filings?
magnetic separation.
Separate iron filings and aluminum filings?
Aluminum and iron can be differentiated because iron is magnetic and aluminum is not. To separate them, expose the filings to a magnetic source and the iron will separate.
What liquid can be used to separate mixture of iron filings and sulfur?
Carbon disulfide can be used to separate a mixture of iron filings and sulfur. This is because carbon disulfide can be used to dissolve sulfur, thus leaving you with the iron filings.
How do you separate iron filings from iron carbonate?
Pure iron filings will be attracted to a magnet; but pieces of iron carbonate will not.
How could you separate pepper and iron filings?
With a magnet. Iron is ferromagnetic
