∙ 14y agoBecause a magnet attracts the Iron Filings and not the salt and sand (which do not contain Iron). Simple. Because iron is magnetic, salt and sand are not. Therefore the magnet only picks up the magnetic objects, in this case iron.
Three quick and dirty ways;
Add warm water, the salt will dissolve and leave the iron, or
Pass a strong magnet over the mix and the iron filings will cling to it, the salt won't, or
Centrifuge the mix, the iron will move to the bottom

Yes A magnet would help you separate a mixture of iron nails and iron screws because the magnet when you wave it over the iron nails it will pick them up and then you just wipe them off the magnet with a paper towel and then your iron screws are separated Answer: NO!!!! The magnet would pick up nails and screws equally if they were both made of iron and were the same weight.
