How do you separate sand salt and sawdust into pure states?
If all three are mixed together you can separate the sawdust from the group with a Sieve filter with holes smaller than the sawdust, but larger than the sand/salt particles. You could then use another sieve, if the sand and salt particles are significantly different in size,...OR add water to the mix....the salt will dissolve into solution leaving the sand behind. Pour off the water and let it evaporate, leaving the salt behind. Put the mixture of sand, salt and sawdust into a quantity of water: the sand will sink to the bottom, sawdust will float and salt will dissolve. Skim off (and dry) the floating sawdust. Pour off the water containing the dissolved salt. This is then heated to cause all the water to evaporate (leaving behind the salt). The remaining residue in the original container (wet sand) can now be dried off with heat.
How do you separate sawdust from salt and sand without using water?
If the particles are each of different size, these compounds may be separated based on two selective filtrations using appropriately-sized sieves. If this process is not possible, than separation may be accomplished by dissolving the salt in another polar solvent such as liquid ammonia or methanol (about 1 or 2 grams of NaCl will dissolve per 100mL of these solvents). The sand and sawdust could then be separated using their density, as the sawdust would float and the sand would sink. Evaporation the solvent would yield the solid salt.
How do you separate sawdust from salt paper clips and gravel?
You canseparate them with a liquid known a sulfuric acid. (it penetrates thought almost anything) Those things that are not soluble can be removed by filters, the sawdust, sand, rocks and iron. The salt and soluble iron will need to be removed chemically. You can evaporate the water and you'll have the salt after removing any iron chemically. +++ The question didn't say anything about destroying any of the materials! Sulphuric Acid is highly corrosive and would attack the iron and sawdust at least. And your skin if you splash it on yourself. I'm not sure about the salt but it would not harm the sand (quartz, or silicon dioxide grains). You can extract the rocks by sieving the mixture; and the iron (filings I presume) with a magnet. That's a start. Now you can flood the mixture with water and let the sawdust float. Scoop it from the surface of the water, and dry it. That leaves sand and salt. Dissolve the salt, filter the brine to remove the sand; dry the sand and evaporate the brine to leave the salt. BTW I hope Dale and I were not helping someone cheat with what look suspiciously like a homework question....

How do you separate iron dust sand camphor and salt?
Use a magnet to collect all of the iron fillings. Then you make some static electricity with a balloon. Gently rub the statically charged balloon on the contents and it will take everything but the benzoic acid. Now put the rest of the mixture into water. The sawdust will float to the top, scrape them off. The salt will dissolve into the water. The sand will sink to the bottom, filter or seive the mixture. Boil the salty water until all the water has evaporated. Salt residue will be on the sides and the bottom of the pot and can easilly be scraped off. You have successfully separated salt, sand, iron, sawdust, and benzoic acid.
Can you filter it to separate salt sawdust and gravel?
Yes, assuming you have no gravel smaller than the sawdust. Just think about it for a second.
How could separate the mixture of salt water and saw dust?
Add the mixture of sawdust, sand and salt to water. The sawdust will float and can be skimmed form the surface. The salt will dissolve in the water. The sand can be filtered from the mixture which remains. The salt water solution which remains can be heated and the water will evaporate leaving the salt behind.

' can you separate a mixture of sand salt and sawdust'?
pour water in the cup, the saw dust flouts up the sand stays at the bottom
What method do you use to separate iron filings from sawdust?
Use a magnet to seperate the iron. Then, add water to dissolve the salt and float the sawdust. Skim off, sieve or filter the solution to seperate the sawdust. Let the water evaporate, leaving the salt behind.
How do you separate sawdust from nails?
If the "plastic" sawdust truly is plastic, then it won't dissolve or go mushy in water. Real sawdust will.
