As salt is soluble in water, mixing salt and sand in water would result in solid sand, and salt water. When poured through a coffee filter, the sand would remain in the filter, while the salt water would flow through. After letting the water evaporate, salt would remain. You will be left with the two separated solids.
no, sand and gravel are solids and there is no holes in a coffee filter for them to fall through
Weigh each sample and then make a solution of coffee, sand and water. First of all, we have to filter the solution with the help of filter paper so all the water will pass through the paper and as a filtrate we will have coffee and sand. Take the filtrate and let it dry. Secondly, once the filtrate is dry take a strong magnet and scan across, underneath the filter paper. This will separate all the sand on one side of the filter paper. Finally, record the mass of each component after the experiment.
A mixture of sand and gravel is commonly used in construction. By using a wire mesh, the two materials can be separated.
Sand and water can be separated using a cheese cloth or filter paper.
sand is a base and gravel is a acid
Sift to separate everything from the gravel. Then use a magnet (If needed) to pull out the iron. Now you are left with sand and salt. Dump this mixture into water. The sand should sink to the bottom. The salt should dissolve. Pour the mixture through filter paper to catch the sand. Boil the water and it will evaporate. Now you are left with salt.
The gravel and sand filter out smaller particles from the water
Sand and gravel can be separated by sifting them through a mesh, that will allow the sand to fall through, but will hold back the gravel.
I would add enough water to dissolve all of the salt. Then pass it through a strainer to collect the gravel.
You would use a filter in this case a grate bigger than the the sand yet smaller than the gravel that you could probably buy at your neighborhood grocery store or online.
Firstly, sift the mixture to separate the gravel from the sand and salt. Now place the sifted mixture into water. The sand will sink to the bottom and the salt will eventually dissolve. Pour this watery mixture through filter paper to catch all of the sand. If you want the salt back in solid form, simply boil the water.

A simple method is sieving.
with fillter paper
If we need to separate sand and gravel, we simply use the size of the material and a mechanical contraption to do the separating. A screen with mesh of the proper or appropriate dimensions will sieve the particles nicely. The sand will fall through the mesh piling up underneath it, and, if the screen is tilted, the gravel will bounce its way down and off the screen into a separate pile.
