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.
Is sawdust an element?
No. Sawdust is a mixture.
Is sawdust gas?
Sawdust is solid. A gas is colorless that's why you cannot see it. If you can see sawdust it is not gas.
What is different method of separating mixture in chemistry?
Firstaval....proper English grammer please.... what are the different method of separating a mixture? ANSWER: Easy, there are many ways, you can use magnet (ex: sand and iron needles) heating plate (ex: water and salt-- heat the solution and the water vaporizes while the salt stays in) hands (ex: using there apperance--color, shape, mass ect.) water (ex: sand and sawdust--- sand sinks and sawdust floats) screen or a fliter (ex: mud and water) ECT... hope i helped
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.

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.
Will sawdust from walnut trees make a dog sick?
Typically it will not. If you are using the sawdust for bedding I would recommend going to the local pet supply store and buying a better type of bedding.
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.
What happened when sawdust or sugar or salt is added to ice cube?

Is it normal if you ginnea pig sneezes a lot could it be the dust from the sawdust?
Guinea pigs shouldn't be sneezing a lot. If so, you need to either clean the cage and it will eventually get better or stop using sawdust bedding. You should be using pine chip bedding or anything that isn't dusty, but never sawdust. Sneezes indicate colds or irritation in the nasal passage.

Which acid is manufactured using sawdust?
Oxalic acid
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.
