Allow the mixture to stand without disturbance, until the heavier sand sinks to the bottom of the container; then skim the water from the top of the container. Also, you can boil the mixture evaporating the water into another pot or bowl thus leaving behind the sand. Filtration is another possibility.

What is a mixture of solid and liquid which will separate if allowed to stand?

sand and water.


How can you separate sand water and salt?

Separate the sand grains using a fine mesh. Separate salt from the water by using evaporation (leaving the salt crystals behind), and condensation (turning the evaporated water vapor back into a liquid).


How would you separate sand from water into their components?

sand is opaqe,water is transparent First add the sand to water. Then filter the sand from water by a filter paper. This process is called filtration. Filtration is the process by which an insoluble solid is separated from a liquid. Sand will remain as residue on the filter paper and the water will be in in the beaker. Sand will be wet, so leave the sand outside so that the water will evaporate. Sedimentation - The process by which heavy particles settle down and get separated from the liquid is known as sedimentation. The sand settles at the bottom and the water will be on top, although this method will only allow the layers to get separated. So you won't get the sand and water in separate beakers. Decantation- Pouring out the clear liquid leaving behind the sediment is known as decantation. First add the sand to water. The mud will settle at the bottom of the beaker. The water will be on top, so now pour out the liquid to another beaker. You must be careful while doing this step, because if you disturb the solution the sand will get mixed with water. Then again you have to wait till the sand settles down at the bottom of the beaker.


How would separate a mixture of sand and water?

get a strainer to get the sand out silly :)


How do you separate sand from water?

You just need to use filter paper. use the filter paper than just pour the water and sand on the filter paper. the sand will go to the filter paper while the water will go straight to the beaker or anything below it. That is how you separate it. To separate sand and water you could pour the mixture through a filter. The water would pass through the filter but the sand would remain on top of the filter. If you didn't need to save the water you could evaporate the water and leave the dry sand behind. Or allow the sand to settle and carefully pour off the water first. Then allow the remaining water to evaporate.

Does condensation separate sand from water?

No. Condensation is the process in which a gas turns into a liquid. You can filter the sand from the water using a funnel and filter paper, and then let the water evaporate from the wet sand you get from the filtration.

A mixture of sand and water can be separated by filtration true or false?

True. Filtration is when you have a liquid (water) and a solid (sand) mixed together. You pour the liquid onto a filter, or material with lots of small holes. If the holes are small enough then the solid (sand) cannot go through them, but the liquid (water) can. This will allow you to separate them.

How do you separate water sand and gasoline?

by using the seperating techniques first you seperate it from the sand by filtration then you use a seperatin funnel and pour the filtrarte (the liquid in this case the gasoline and water) in this the liquid with higher density will sink (the gasoline) and you open the tap till almost al the liquid of higher density is out


Two ways you could separate a mixture of sand and sugar?

to separate the mixture of sand and sugar:- first: you can mix water in it and after mixing you can separate the water and sand. and after that you boil the water until whole water is evaporated and you get sugar and sand separated. second: if difference b/w size of sugar and sand particle you can use met to separate them.


How do you separate salt and sand from water?

Fist filter off or sink off the sand from water with dissolved salt. Then evaporate the water (by boiling off) from the solution, leavinfg the dry solid salt crystals.


How would you separate the sand and salt from a sample of sea water?

<p>You can separate the sand by filtration, but still the salt (mainly sodium chloride) is dissolved in the water. Then, you can separate the salt from water by distillation. The liquid you collect after water vapor is chilled is distilled water. You can use other methods to separate sand as sedimentation (usually slower than filtration) and salt as reverse osmosis.<p>
