Suggest how you could obtain solid sodium chloride from a mixture of sand sodium chloride?

Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride will yield chlorine gas and liquid sodium metal which will cool to solid sodium metal. Electrolysis is best though reaction of molten NaCl with potassium, rubidium or cesium would be an alternative (not producing chlorine but exchanging metals to form the other chlorides).
Actually any of these reactions are not a (physical) extraction as said in the question.

- Filter the liquid.
- Sodium chloride solution pass in the filtrate.
- Heat the solution; after the evaporation of water solid sodium chloride is obtained.

Is sodium chloride a compound or homogeneous mixture?
NaCl (sodium chloride) is a compound, not a mixture.
Is sodium chloride a example of a mixture?
Sodium chloride is a compound, not a mixture.
In the the mixture sodium chloride is sodium the smaller atom?
Sodium chloride is a chemical compound, not a mixture.
Why is sodium chloride a mixture of sodium chloride and water?
Only the water solution of sodium chloride is a mixture of NaCl and water.
Is sodium chloride mixture?
No, sodium chloride is a compound.
Is solution of NaCl is a compound or element?
Sodium chloride is a compound, not an element. The solution is a homogeneous mixture./
Is ferric sodium chloride a mixture or not?
Ferric sodium chloride (Na3ClFe) is a compound not a mixture.
Is sodium chloride a hetrogeneous mixture?
Pure sodium chloride is homogeneous compound. It is not a mixture.
Is sodium chloride an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Sodium chloride is a compound of sodium and chlorine formed by ionic bonding of sodium ions and chlorine ions.
Is sodium chloride homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Sodium chloride is a chemical compound, not a mixture; NaCl is homogeneous.
Which method could be used to obtain copper from a mixture of powdered copper and sodium chloride?
Wash the mixture with water and separate the solid from the liquid, for example, by filtration. The sodium chloride will dissolve in the wash water, while the copper is left behind.
