How would a combination of pebbles and water be similar to a combination of sand and water?
A mixture of pebbles and water would be heterogeneous.
Why would you want separate a mechanical mixture?
I do not know tell me
Carlos' teacher has asked him to separate a mixture of sand and iron filings. Which of these methods would correctly separate the mixture?
the correct answer would be -( magnetic attraction of one part )
How many phases are present in a mixture of water sand and oil. How could you separate this mixture into individual substances.?
Sand would lay on the bottom, water would occupy the middle, and oil would float on the top. So, in a tall tube of all three substances, careful extraction from three heights of the tube would separate as required.
How can you separate sand and pebbles?
As long as the particles of sand and pebbles are of different size, you can separate them using a sieve (sifter). The smaller sand particles will pass through the sieve whereas the pebble molecules will not. This is the process that occurs in sifters sold as children's toys.
Would a screen be useful for separating a mixture of gravel and diatomaceous-earth?
yes it would. you could also separate it with a magnet then the gravel would stick to the magnet. +++ Magnetic gravel? You can separate diatomaceous earth from gravel simply by sieving. Gravel is not magnetic (unless it happens to be a magnetic ore of iron!).
How would you separate a mixture of salt gravel and power?
Salt is soluble in water; gravel is separated by filtering the solution or by decantation.Power is not a material.
Would a screen be useful for separating a mixture of gravel and diatomaceous - earth powder?

A mixture of pebbles and water would be heterogeneous.
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.
Would a screen be useful to separate earth powder and gravel?
Yes
Why would a screen be useful for separating a mixture of gravel and diatomaceous -earth powder?
no
Process would be most appropriate to separate a mixture?
The process that would be most appropriate to separate a mixture is filtration. This only applies if the mixture is composed of a solid and a liquid.
