You can filter it off using a sinted glass crucible, fine filter paper, a vacuum pump and a side-arm flask.
If you don't have that sort of equipment: a filter funnel, filter paper and a conical flask should do.

Is seawater a homegeneous mixture?
no, a homogeneous mixture is salt water, seawater has other particles in it like sand, bacteria, and other debris that can be seen making it heterogeneous
Is sea water a compound or heterogeneous mixture?
Sea water is a heterogeneous mixture. Although it does contain fully dissolves solutes it also contains suspended particles and countless living organisms.
The dissolved materials in seawater are thought to originate from?
outgassing of elements from Earth's interior.
What is a substance table salt seawater or sand Explain how you know?
- Table salt is a substance - sodium chloride (NaCl); the salt contain two elements chemically bonded. - Salt water is a mixture of water (H2O), the solvent, with sodium chloride and other salts; also contain insoluble materials. - Sand is a powdered material; sand has different compositions: calcium carbonate, lava, silicates etc. Sand may be a substance if it is pure.
The measure of the total amount of solid material dissolved in seawater is called .?
salinity
Is seawater a solution or a mixture?
Seawater may be considered a heterogeneous mixture because contain many insoluble materials.
What is seawater element compound heterogeneous or homogeneous?
Seawater is water (H2O which is a compound) containing soluble compounds but also insoluble materials. We can consider, with approximation, that the seawater is a homogeneous solution.
Is seawater a homegeneous mixture?
no, a homogeneous mixture is salt water, seawater has other particles in it like sand, bacteria, and other debris that can be seen making it heterogeneous
What is the process called when separating a solid from a liquid such as salt from seawater?
Desalination
Is seawater polluted by salt?
- Sea waters contain some salts and other soluble or insoluble materials as natural products- But unfortunately sea waters contain also many man made pollutants
Is sea water a compound or heterogeneous mixture?
Sea water is a heterogeneous mixture. Although it does contain fully dissolves solutes it also contains suspended particles and countless living organisms.
Is seawater heterogeneous or homogeneous?
Because sea water contain many insoluble impurities and living organisms it is heterogeneous.
The dissolved materials in seawater are thought to originate from?
outgassing of elements from Earth's interior.
What is a suitable method for separating salt from seawater?
Allow the water to evaporate, leaving behind the salt would be effective for separating salt and water in a mixture.
What are two primary sources for the materials that comprise the dissolved components in seawater?
Chemical weathering and out gassing
What is the difference between seawater and freshwater?
Seawater has very high levels of sodium , salt, from materials in the sand, freshwater, lakes and ponds, have very low, if any salt levels , so, never consume seawater without first filtering it, it will kill you.
Do Salinity refers to all of the solid materials in seawater both dissolved and visible?
Salinity is the total amount of the solid materials DISSOLVED in water
