What do you do to separate sugar and salt?
One way to separate them would be to subject the mixture to a temperature high enough to melt the sugar (around 366.8°F or 186°C) in a dry and oxygen-free atmosphere. The sugar will still tend to caramelize however. You could burn off the sugar from a mixture leaving the salt behind, but this wouldn't really constitute separation since you would not be recovering the sugar. You could also achieve some separation via electrolysis since sugar is fairly non-polar. Since the molecules are quite different in size, you might also separate them via osmosis through a membrane with pores too small to pass sugar molecules. Despite some misinformation, you cannot do it by dissolving in alcohol. Sucrose is NOT soluble in alcohol (at least not to any significant degree). If you add some water to the alcohol you start to get some solubility, but then you also increase the solubility of salt in the solution as well. You could probably salt from sugar by dissolving the mixture in condensed anhydrous ammonia. The solubility of sucrose in condensed ammonia is about 72% sucrose in ammonia while sodium chloride is essentially insoluble in ammonia. You need some pretty cold conditions to do this though since ammonia is liquid in the range from -77 to -33 °C.
Why does salt dry things out?
Salt removes moisture b'coz salt is deliquescent in nature.
What physical property does sugar have that makes it dissolve in water?
A grain of sugar is actually a large collection of sugar molecules (with most of the water eliminated if dry). When the sugar grain is placed in water the sugar molecules are free to separate and drift in the water (without a chemical change to the molecules). Drying the water out again restores the sugar to crystal grains although perhaps much larger. For sugar to dissolve, water must wet it (unlike wax and oils, etc.).
Why might a lake in a hot dry region contain salt water?
why is salt in a lake in the hot,dry region
Can filter paper be used to separate and collect sugar that has been dissolved from hot water?
No it cant because suger dissolves into water
How do you separate dry salt from salt water?
Evaporating water dried salt is obtained.
How can you separate salt and sugar?
Organic SolventsBenzene and other solvents will dissolve sugar, but not salt. Salt is slightly soluble in ethanol, but this method can be used for experiments. Add the mixture to ethanol and strain out the salt with filter paper. Evaporating the ethanol will leave the sugar behind.Water Solution First in a large glass of cold water and mix the "Salt+Sugar" you have there.Then wait until some solid particles form on the bottom of the glass.Carefully take the water out of the glass.The solid particles are SUGARThen the water is SALT+WATERTake the "Salt+Water" and boil it until there is no more water.Then you will end with just SALT (hot salt...)In theory, if a water solution is cooled, sugar crystals should precipitate before the salt, but this is difficult to control experimentally.
How do you separate tea leaves with salt?
The best way to separate tea leaves with salt is to blend it. Once you blend the tea leaves, add salt, and let them dry.
How do you separate a mixture of water and salt?
Evaporate off the water leaving the dry salt crystals behind.
Why does sugar never become rotten?
Just like salt, sugar is a dry crystal that is devoid of water. Bacteria need water to reproduce and without it, they cannot infest the dry sugar.
Is corn fruit or vegetable.?
Botanically, corn is a grain or dry fruit.
How do you separate chalk and salt?
Assuming you mean common salt, sodium chloride the two can be adding water which will dissolve the salt- filter to separate the chalk, wash and dry it. To recover the salt- Take the dissolved salt, carefully heat to boil off the water and then it let it cool to crystallize out the salt.
How do you separate a dry mixture of ammonium chloride iron sugar and potassium iodide and obtain a dry sample of iron and ammonium chloride?

Is sugar explosive?
yes if you add salt bi carb soda and a little dry ice it creates a lovely explosion
What is the chemical formula for water carbon dioxcideknow as dry ice sugar and tabel salt?
water is H20 carbon dioxide is CO2 dry ice is carbon dioxide so is CO2 also table salt is sodium chloride - NaCl
If you made a mixture of iron fillings and salt how could you separate that mixture into its 2 original substances?
Place the mixture in water. You recover the iron once the salt dissolves. Then allow the water salt mixture to dry and allow salt crystals to reform.
What weights more a bag of wet sugar or a bag of dry sugar?
dry sugar
