Can you use evaporation to separate sand and water?
It is more simple to filter water to delete sand.
If you have a mixture of gravel and sand and salt and iron fillings what properties of these substances could you use to separate the mixture and how would you use those properties?
Particle size, solubility and magnetism. The iron filings can be separated with a magnet, the salt by disolving in water, and the remaining sand and gravel separated by simple screening.
How do you separate sand from water?
You just need to use filter paper. use the filter paper than just pour the water and sand on the filter paper. the sand will go to the filter paper while the water will go straight to the beaker or anything below it. That is how you separate it. To separate sand and water you could pour the mixture through a filter. The water would pass through the filter but the sand would remain on top of the filter. If you didn't need to save the water you could evaporate the water and leave the dry sand behind. Or allow the sand to settle and carefully pour off the water first. Then allow the remaining water to evaporate.
I have a mixture of sand and water. What is a method that could be use to separate the mixture?
Settle it and pour off the water, or simply filter the sand out of the water.
How can you separate sand water and salt?
Separate the sand grains using a fine mesh. Separate salt from the water by using evaporation (leaving the salt crystals behind), and condensation (turning the evaporated water vapor back into a liquid).
Consider a mixture of sand salt and water how can you make use of the differences in properties of these materials to separate them?
Filter out the sand using filter paper. Boil away the water. You are left with salt.
What methods do you think you will use to separate sand from salt?
Add water, separate the water from the sand. Let the water evaporate.
Which physical property can you use to separate sand and sugar?
Use water. Mix it around, the sugar will dissolve into the water. Use a siv to separate the water and the sand, put the water in a container and wait for the water to evaporate: leaving sugar and sand.
How would you use physical properties to separate sand from seashells?
I would sort them by a strainer
If you had a bucket that contained a mixture of sand and sea shells how might you use the physical properties of the seashells to separate them from the sand?
Try to use a sieve.
How can physical properties be used to separate iron sand salt and water?
Use a magnet to remove the iron, a filter or screen to remove the sand, and a still to remove the salt.
Two ways you could separate a mixture of sand and sugar?
to separate the mixture of sand and sugar:- first: you can mix water in it and after mixing you can separate the water and sand. and after that you boil the water until whole water is evaporated and you get sugar and sand separated. second: if difference b/w size of sugar and sand particle you can use met to separate them.
Can you use evaporation to separate sand and water?

Why do you use filter paper to separate sand from water and not salt from water?
Because the salt dissolves in the water whereas sand does not.
