If it is like salt and water you can just boil the water so water evaporates and salt stays at the edge :) or you can use simple destillation if you want the water to stay alone and salt to stay alone :) But the best thing you can do is to drink a little bit of it and see how it tastes :)

What do you call when you take salt water and make it drinkable?

How do you turn Saltwater into Drinking Water?

A small quantity of a salt is stirred into a liter pf water until it dissolves in the resulting mixture the water is?
Although this question is quite ambiguous, stirring a small quantity of salt in water until it dissolves will produce an unsaturated solution as long as the salt is water soluble. Stirring a small amount of a water-insoluble salt in water may produce a saturated solution if the quantity of salt dissolved in the water is such that no more can be dissolved.
How much salt is in one small jar of water?
