Salt will dissolve in water, and the more heat you add, the more salt you can dissolve, i.e. boiling the water. Sand however, is not water soluble, therefore, it will not dissolve. Let the water boil and dissolve the salt, then drain the water over a semi-permeable cloth so the sand is trapped and the water (and salt) drains through.

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>
How do you separate salt sand and gravel?
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.
Consider a mixture of sand salt and water how can you make use of the differences in properties of these materials to separate them?
You can separate the sand from the mixture by filtering it since sand does not dissolve in water. To separate the salt from the water, you can evaporate the water, leaving the salt behind. This method takes advantage of the differences in solubility and boiling points of the components in the mixture.
What is the process to separate sand and salt mixture?
Since sand is not soluble in water and salt is, you can add water to a mixture of sand and salt, and then pour away the salty water into a different container, leaving behind the sand. If you need to recover the salt as a solid substance, you can boil away the water, or if you are not in a hurry, just let it evaporate.
How would you get salt from sand salt and water?
Sive first to seperate the sand then boil or microwave until evaporated and you will have the salt.
What separation can be used to separate salt iron and sand?
A magnet can be used to separate iron (which is magnetic) from salt and sand. Next, water can be added to dissolve the salt, leaving behind the sand. The remaining sand can be filtered out to further separate it from the salt solution.
A container contains a mixture of sand salt and pebbles.how can each substance be separated from the other?
To separate sand from salt and pebbles, use a sieve to filter out the larger pebbles first, then add water to dissolve the salt and separate it from the sand through filtration. To separate salt from sand and pebbles, dissolve the salt in water and then evaporate the water to obtain the salt crystals, leaving the sand and pebbles behind. To separate pebbles from sand and salt, use a sieve or filtration to separate the larger pebbles from the sand and salt mixture.
Can you separate sand salt pebbles and iron fillings?
Sure, that's easy. First, pull out the iron filings with a magnet. Separate the pebbles by pouring the mixture through a grate, with holes large enough to allow the sand and salt to fall through, but not large enough to allow the pebbles to fall through. Finally, to separate the sand and the salt, just add water. The salt will dissolve, the sand won't. If you want to recover the salt in solid form, you can then boil away the water in the salt solution, and get your salt back. Done.
What methods do you think you will use to separate sand from salt?
One method to separate sand from salt is by dissolving the mixture in water to dissolve the salt, then filtering the solution to separate the sand from the saltwater. Another way is to use a sieve to physically separate the larger particles of sand from the smaller particles of salt.
How will you separate a mixture of salt and sand will it be different if the mixture consists of iron filling instead of salt explain?
To separate a mixture of salt and sand, you can use the method of dissolving the salt in water and then filtering the sand out. If the mixture consists of iron filings instead of salt, you can use a magnet to attract and separate the iron filings from the sand. This method works since iron is magnetic while sand is not.
How can you separate mixtures from sand and water?
boil off the water.
What can be used to separate salt water?
Boil water
