If we put either (or both, in this case) in water, they both dissolve. But what if we use another solvent that will only dissolve one of the substances? If you can get a small quantity of ethanol (ethyl alcohol), you can conduct a revealing experiment wherein you will see that it dissolves one substance, but not the other.
If you have a solvent that will dissolve one and not the other, you can "wash" the insoluble substance in that solvent and it will carry off the soluble one, which you can recover by evaporation of the solvent. Pouring the solvent into the mixture, mixing gently for a short while, and then pouring the whole thing through, say, a coffee filter, should separate the two substances.

Can water be used to separate salt from sugar why or why not?
A mixture of salt and sugar can be separated by using an organic solvent to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar is dissolved, it can be separated by filtering the salt from the liquid sugar,then recrystallise both solutions to from back their original crystals.
How does salt sand and sugar mix with water?
When salt, sand, and sugar are mixed with water, salt dissolves completely to form a clear solution, sugar dissolves to form a clear solution, and sand does not dissolve but settles at the bottom. The water molecules surround and separate the salt and sugar molecules, allowing them to mix uniformly, while the sand remains separate due to its larger particle size.
how do you separate salt and sugar mention any special safety precaution you would take?
To separate salt and sugar, you can dissolve the mixture in water and then evaporate the water to recover the solid salt and sugar. A safety precaution would be to wear gloves and goggles to protect your skin and eyes from potential splashes or spills of the hot solution. Additionally, ensure proper ventilation when evaporating the water to avoid inhaling any fumes.
Can you separate water from sugar using filtration?
because sugar and salt are soluble to water it cannot be seperated by filtration but can by evaporation. in filtration it cannot seperate becasue it has been broken down into tiny particles and it pass through the filter being used.
How is the dissolving process of sugar and salt different?
When sugar dissolves in water, the sugar molecules break apart and disperse evenly throughout the water due to their polar nature. Salt dissolves in water through a process called ionization, where the sodium and chloride ions separate and mix with the water molecules. Sugar dissolves faster in water than salt because sugar molecules are smaller and have less charge.
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 do you separate a mixture of powdered salt and sugar?
Sugar burns when it is heated to a very high temperature. Salt does not burn.
Can you physically separate a mixture of salt and sugar?
yep
How do you separate iron filings salt sugar and carbon disulphide?
1. Salt will dissolve in carbon disulphide 2. Now we have a mixture of iron filings sugar and carbon disulphide(salt dissolved in it) 3. Separate iron filings by magnet. 4. Remove the sugar by Decantation process. 5. Separate carbon disulphide and salt by distilation.
What technique is used to separate salt and sugar?
Any of the three types of chromatography (column , thin - layer or paper) can be used to separate the salt from sugar and vice-verse !
How do you separate sugar and salt from water?
Evaporate the water, suger and salt will be left behind.
How would separate salt and sugar?
Sugar is soluble in ethanol; sodium chloride is not dissolved.
How would you separate sugar and salt?

How do you separate salt water and sugar water?
Evaporate the water, suger and salt will be left behind.
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 would you separate a mixture of sugar and salt?
well, i think you lick it. The salt tastes salty, and the sugar tastes sweet. Isn't that simple?
