get a magnet and rub it to a cloth then put it over the salt and metal mixture and a lot of the metal will stick to the magnet and repeat the same step a few time until u completely separated the metal and the salt

∙ 13y agoThere are a few ways.
1. Mining: use a pickaxe. Or blast it. I think.
2. Panning for gold: finely crush the rock and use 'flotation'.
3. Chemical separation: for example, if you have a metal embedded in limestone, you can use hydrochloric acid to disolve the limestone and flush it away.
4. Reduction: many ores are the oxide of metal. The metal can be reduced (separated from the oxygen) by copious heat. Most common metals can be obtained in this way

How you separate aluminum and common salt?
Aluminium (as metal powder, grains, etc.) can be sparated from a sodium chloride solution by filtering.
Is CaBr2 an acid base or salt?
It is the combination of a metal (other than hydrogen) and a nonmetal, forming a salt.
What is electrolysis used to make?
Electrolysis is used to separate sodium metal from table salt. It is easier to harvest hydrogen from fossil fuels, than it is to separate hydrogen from oxygen using electroysis of water.
Word equations for metal reactions?
metal + acid -> salt + water metal + oxygen -> metal oxide metal oxide + acid -> salt + water metal + water -> metal hydroxide + hydrogen Metal + Steam -> Metal Oxide + Hydrogen Metal + Acid -> Metal salt + Hydrogen
What happens to a metal when exposed to acidic mixture?
The acid deprotonates in aqueous solution, and the negative ions induce nucleophilic attack on the positively-charged metal ions, removing metal ions from the metal and combining with them to form a salt. The protons that dissociated into solution quite often recombine with each other to form diatomic hydrogen, which bubbles out of the solution as a gas. This process of removing metal ions from the metal itself to be recombined into a salt with the original acid is called corrosion. So, in a nutshell, the acid breaks down into ions, eats away bits of metal atoms from the original metal mass, combines into salt with the acid, and the hydrogen from the acid recombines to hydrogen gas, which bubbles out of the solution.
Can you separate salt and sand from each other?
yes
How would you separate a mixture of salt water sand and metal filllings?
With a magnet
Can sand and salt separate from each other?
Yes, if you run water through the mixture, the salt will dissolve and the sand won't, then let the water evaporate and the salt crystals will remain separated from the sand.
Can you separate salt from iron filings by using a bigger magnet?
U can separate salt and iron filings from each other by using a bigger magnet . There are other ways too . You can also put both of the mixture in a cup of water and watch as the salt evaporate or disappear . But the iron filings will come to the top . Or spreading the mixture on a table and using a magnet to separate them .
How do you separate salt from?
It is impossible to separate a substance from itself. However, it is possible to isolate its respective elements. Technically, a "salt" is any base that combines with an acid, or an alkali/alkaline earth metal that combines with a halogen (For example: Table Salt: NaCl; Sodium Chloride, Alkali metal + Halogen.). However, it is usually possible to separate compounds with electrolysis.
What chemicals are in salt crystals?
In case of common salt, chlorine and sodium. In case of any other salt, a metal and a non-metal.
When metal alloys such as silver and copper are melted do the metals separate from each other?
By melting alone metals that have been mixed do not separate out. They would have to be separated by chemical means. Same as making something like a cake. Easy to mix, flour, sugar and salt but very difficult to separate back. Metals unlike food can be separated but not by heat alone
What other way can you separate salt from water apart from evaporate?
a salt separator a salt separator
What happens when each nitrate salt is put into the flame?
The color of the flame depends on the metal from the salt.
How you separate aluminum and common salt?
Aluminium (as metal powder, grains, etc.) can be sparated from a sodium chloride solution by filtering.
Is CaBr2 an acid base or salt?
It is the combination of a metal (other than hydrogen) and a nonmetal, forming a salt.
Can you used filtation to separate salt?
No, it cannot separate salt from a salt solution. This is because salt is soluble in water.
