By fractional distillation. Heat the mixture gently. As the temperature rises both liquids will evaporate and should be cooled and the condensate collected. The temperature will stabilise at around 78 deg C when all the remaining ethanol will evaporate.
What you are left with is pure water. The condensate is mainly ethanol with a small quantity of water. It can be distilled again to increase its purity.

∙ 14y ago1. Firstly, use filtration to separate sand from the rest of the mixture.
2. Next, use a separation funnel to separate the three layers: Oil, ethanol, salt water.
3. Finally, use simple distillation to separate the salt from the water.
There you have it! Sand, oil, ethanol, salt and water all separated!

get a strainer to get the sand out and i think you burn the ethanol till it's gone :)

What conditions are needed to make ethanol from ethene and steam?
Heating a mixture of ethanol and water would produce a mixture of water vapor (steam) and ethanol vapor. Depending on the composition of the mixture, there could be more ethanol vapor than steam in the resulting gas mixture.
What happens when ethanol is added to soap?
From the experiment, why is a mixture of ethanol and water instead of simply water itself used for saponification? ... Ethanol is the catalyst in saponification C. Ethanol would help the soaps obtained from saponification reaction become more soluble in water D.
Would ethanol be a good solvent for extracting caffeine from water?
No, water and ethanol are miscible in one another. This means they would not separate into two distinct layers when mixed. You would need a less polar solvent such as methylene chloride or ethyl acetate to achieve two layers and properly extract caffeine from water.
What happens when ethanol is mixed with vinegar?
Probably nothing since vinegar is a dilute concentration of acetic acid...However if you had pure acetic acid & ethanol the two would react to form an ester called ethyl acetate at room temperature: CH3CH2OH (ethanol) + CH3COOH (acetic acid) <==> CH3COOCH2CH3 (ethyl acetate) + H2O However since it is an equilibrium reaction you'd have a mixture of the products & reactants & would need to separate the mixture. Under the presence of an acid catalyst (such as sulfuric acid) & continuously removing the water you can increase the yield of ethyl acetate.
Is slime a compound or a mixture?
It would be a compound because a solution is a liquid which is hard to separate and it is not easy to separate by a magnet or something like a mixture. So it would be a compound, IM SMART!!! :)
How to obtain pure water and ethanol from a mixture of sea water and ethanol?
You would use distillation, in which the ethanol and water will boil at different temperatures.
What conditions are needed to make ethanol from ethene and steam?
Heating a mixture of ethanol and water would produce a mixture of water vapor (steam) and ethanol vapor. Depending on the composition of the mixture, there could be more ethanol vapor than steam in the resulting gas mixture.
How would you separate a mixture of alchol and water?

How would you separate a mixture of achohol and water?
Distillation.
How would you separate a mixture of salt and rice?
Water.
How would you separate the mixture of calamansi juice and its seed?
how would you separate calamansi and water
What is an example of a mixture that can be separated by evaporation?
Ethanol and water. Ethanol would evaporate at around 70 deg Celsius, water around 100 Celsius.
Is ethyl alchohol a pure substance or mixture?
It is a pure substance.Added:Chemically speaking alcohol is meant to be ethanol, which is a pure compound with formula CH3CH2OH, it definitely is not a mixture, except when 'dissolved' in water (most stable solution: 4% water + 96% ethanol. (This is what you get when buying a bottle pure ethanol)
How would separate a mixture of sand and water?
get a strainer to get the sand out silly :)

How many layers would be seen if water vegetable oil and ethanol were in one test tube?
There would be two layers present. One layer would consist of a water-ethanol mixture. The other layer would be the vegetable oil. This occurs because water and ethanol are both polar and can participate in hydrogen bonding. Therefore, they are miscible in each other. However, vegetable oil is non polar and will not mix with either ethanol or water.
