Sugar/salt molecules bond with water.
songjongsuk: what he means is that the sugar/salt molecules are PART of the water, which means they are technically liquid. So they can pass through the filter paper just like any other liquid.

How can separate water and salt without lossing of water?
Get a filter funnel and filter paper and pour in solution . water will run through and salt left behind
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).
What are three ways to separate the substance in a mixture?
You can separate the substances through filtering, evaporation, and distillation. For example, if you have salt, powdered sulfur and water combined and you want to separate everything, you would mix it all together. Then put filter paper of a cone tube and pour the mixture over it and into a cup. The sulfur granules would stay on top of the filter paper, while the salt dissolves with the water and is poured through with the water. Boil the water until it evaporates, and all that you are left with is salt.
How do you separate a mixture of salt water and sand and still get water?
First filter the solution to seprate sand.then evapourate it and get salt.
Suppose an aqueous solution contains both sugar and salt Can you separate either of these solutes from water by filteration?
No, both salt and sugar are soluble in water. So they cannot be filtered.
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.
How can separate water and salt without lossing of water?
Get a filter funnel and filter paper and pour in solution . water will run through and salt left behind
How do you separate salt water from the mixture of chalk powder mixed in water?
Pass the mixture through filter paper. The salt water will pass through leaving the chalk behind in the filter paper.
How do you separate pure salt from salt?
Dissolve the whole salt in a warm water, then filter it out. By evaporating the filtrate, we shall get pure salt. The impurities will left on the filter paper(as these are insoluble in water).
Why salt can't be separated from salt water by using filter paper?
The dissolved salt will go right through. Anything dissolved in water can't be separated out using filter paper. However, if you evaporate off the water, the salt remains in the container, and you can separate it that way.
Why do you separate a mixture of salt water and sand?
Since salt is soluble in water then you have to separate the mixture from sand first and this is done by filtration. The sand will be left in the filter paper and the filtererd solution would be that of salt and water. To get the salt you would then have to heat the solution and the water will evaporate leaving the salt behind.Filter Paper
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.
Separation of sugar and water?
Salt does not desolve in pure grain alcohol. Put the mixture in the solution, then filter through filter paper or a coffee filter. then evaporate the alcohol and your left with salt in the filter and sugar in the other end.
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).
How do you separate sand from the salt?
Put the sand and salt mixture into a beaker of water. Put more water or raise the temperature of the water until the salt completely disappears. Pour everything in the beaker onto a piece of filter paper. The sand will stay on the filter paper while the water and salt solution will pass through the filter paper. To obtain the sale, simply boil the water and the remaining solid after all the water boiled is salt.
How do you separate salt and sand without filter paper?
In order to separate sand and salt without filter paper you need to place mixture in container with an excess of water. You use an excess of the solvent so that you decant the salt water with a pipette or what ever you are using. Remember you will want to stir the mixture so salt goes into solution. You can repeat adding water to your liking and removing more salt water and then dry the sand.
Can you separate salt and water with paper?
You cannot do it with paper.
