Sugar is soluble in ethanol; sodium chloride is not dissolved.

well, i think you lick it. The salt tastes salty, and the sugar tastes sweet. Isn't that simple?
Salt and sugar have different chemical appearences and shapes. Their taste is also different!
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.
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.
Sugar burns when it is heated to a very high temperature. Salt does not burn.
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
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.
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.
yep
Any of the three types of chromatography (column , thin - layer or paper) can be used to separate the salt from sugar and vice-verse !
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.
