We can use a magnet. It will attract the iron and pull it from the sand.
yes, with a magnet
Use a magnet. The magnet will remove the iron filings form the sand.
By using a magnet to separate the iron filings, you'd be left with the sulfur and sand mix. Selecting a solvent for the sulfur will allow you to dissolve the sulfur, and then all you have to do is put the sand in a filter and wash the sulfur through with the solvent.
To separate a mixture of iron filings, sand, and camphor, you can use a magnet to attract the iron filings, leaving the sand and camphor behind. Then, you can dissolve the camphor in water as it is soluble, allowing the sand to settle at the bottom. Finally, you can filter out the sand to obtain separate components.
because the iron can be picked up by a magnet
In solution, the salt will be dissolved in the water, the sand and iron will settle to the bottom of the container. Separate out the water, evaporate the water and the salt will remain, separate the sand and iron filings with a magnet.
This can be done by the processs of magnetism. Holding amagent near the mixture will cause the iron filings to be attracted out of the sand.
One way to physically remove iron filings from sand is to use a magnet. Pass the magnet over the mixture to attract the iron filings, leaving the sand behind. Alternatively, you could use a sieve to separate the larger iron filings from the smaller sand particles.
In solution, the salt will be dissolved in the water, the sand and iron will settle to the bottom of the container. Separate out the water, evaporate the water and the salt will remain, separate the sand and iron filings with a magnet.
You use a magnet because iron fillings are magnetic.
To separate a mixture of sand, iron filings, and salt, you can use a magnet to remove the iron filings, then dissolve the salt in water and filter the sand out. Lastly, evaporate the water to obtain the salt.
Here's the full scientific report I had to do in year 7. Title: Magnetic Separation Aim: To separate iron filings from sand using a magnet. Equipment: Magnet, sand and iron filing mixture, plastic bowl Method: 1. Pour the mixture into the plastic bowl 2. Move the magnet slowly through the mixture Results: When the magnet was moved through the mixture, it picked up the iron filings but not the sand. Conclusion: In this experiment we demonstrated that a magnet can pick up iron filings in a sand and iron filing mixture through magnetism. The aim was achieved as we were able to separate the iron filings from the sand.
