How can you separate salt and sugar already dissolve in water?

It will be difficult to separate them in something that they both dissolve into (like water or ethanol). You can try changing the temperature and the sugar may precipitate out, depending on the sugar. To get a complete separation I would evaporated the water first and just separate the salt and sugar. Then you can separate the solids by dissolving the sugar into a polar solvent like toluene. NaCl will not dissolve in toluene but all of the sugar should.

What method would be used to separate iron fillings from sugar?
A magnet will cause the iron to adhere and separate. Or adding water will dissolve the sugar and the iron can be filtered out and then the water evaporated from the sugar.
What separation technique would you use to separate bird seeds and sugar?
Mix in a little water, dissolve the sugar. Filter to separate the bird seed. Evaporate the water and the sugar crystals will reappear.
When a teaspoonful of sugar is added to water in a breaker the sugar dissolves?
This would be a mixture, because you could easily separate the water and sugar again by boiling the water.
What can I do to separate sugar and salt?
Pour the mixture in alcohol. The sugar will dissolve and the salt can be separated, and then, pour water on the alcohol/sugar solution. Wait for the water/alcohol to evaporate, then the sugar will be left.
How could you separate a mixture of and sugar and sand?
Put them in water. Sugar dissolves, sand remains Filter the solution to separate sand and salt. Evaporate solution with dissolved salt to get salt back
How could you separate a mixture of sugar and white sand.?
Dissolve the sugar in water and then evaporate the water
How can you separate sandshred candle wax and granulated sugar?
dissolve the sugar in water then filter to get the wax then boil off the water from the sugar
Does sugar dissolve quicker in tap water than salt water?
Yes- this is because tap water is largely already unsaturated, making the sugar easier to dissolve. Salt water already has had salt dissolved into it, therefore making the water dissolve sugar more easily when it has had nothing else saturated into it. Hope that this helps! X

What happens sugar is added to water?
The sugar will dissolve in water because sugar is polar and so is water with hydrogen bonds. When attraction happens, the water molecules will separate the sugar molecules and the sugar will be dissolved.
Which physical property can you use to separate sand and sugar?
Use water. Mix it around, the sugar will dissolve into the water. Use a siv to separate the water and the sand, put the water in a container and wait for the water to evaporate: leaving sugar and sand.
How would you separate mixture of sugar and sand?
You could try running water through it (which would dissolve the sugar), collecting the water, and evaporate it to get the sugar back.
What should you use to separate sand and sugar?
Dissolve it it water and filter it through paper. The sand will be in the paper and then sugar will be dissolved in the water. You can let the water evaporate and you will have the sugar back.
