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.


Why is it difficult to totally separate two or more soluble solids by filtration and crystallization?

because both are soluble which means that they desolve in water. like sugar in water becomes sugar water. but sugar and salt inwater becomes sugar salt water. you cant separate them


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 do you separate dry salt and grain sugar?

add water and then boil it.


Can water be used to separate salt from surger why or whey not?

yes, because when you add salt and sugar to water and wait for the sugar to disolve, when the water evaporates the sugar goes into the air in the water while the salt stays behind in the pan or w.e


How can you separate salt and sugar already dissolve in water?

It will be difficult to separate them in something that they both dissolve into (like water or ethanol). You can try changing the temperature and the sugar may precipitate out, depending on the sugar. To get a complete separation I would evaporated the water first and just separate the salt and sugar. Then you can separate the solids by dissolving the sugar into a polar solvent like toluene. NaCl will not dissolve in toluene but all of the sugar should.


How was testing the electrical conductivity of the solution help tell the difference between salt and sugar?

There are a few different ways that you can test the difference between water, salt water, and sugar water. You can test boiling point for example.


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.


When salt or sugar is dissolved in water why is salt an eletrolyte and sugar is not?

Sugar is a covalent compound and doesn't separate into ionic constituents in water. Salt is an ionic compound and the constituent ions in the solid are held in place by electrostatic attraction. In water, the ions of the salt dissociate and disperse into the sugar/water matrix. These dissociated ions then support electric current.


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.
