salt can not be filtered the only way to seprate salt and water when salt has dissolved in water is evaperation, all the water will evaprate leaving the salt behind.

∙ 10y agoBecause when a solute dissolves it breaks apart into it's individual particles.. The solvent and solute particles mix together and become totally mixed up, so it's hard to separate them because the are mixed together and plus the salt particles are too small to get into the holes in filter paper..
But it is possible to get salt out of a salt solution by Evaporation...

∙ 9y agoThe salt in seawater is soluble meaning that it is not able to be separated. Salt can be evaporated from seawater.

∙ 15y agothe particles fit through the filter papaer
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoSugar and Salt particles bond with water and become a part of it, therfore they can pass through the filter paper like a liquid.
Hope this helps, please recommend :)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agobecause salt is an ionic substance, it dissolves in water, so they cant be separated by filtration
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoBecause the salt will dissolve, a way to separate them would be to distill the solution. :)
Wiki User
∙ 11y agobecause filtration is a process by which we can separate insoluble solid.

Why doesn't filter paper method will not work for salt water?
because the filter paper was really tight so it wont go through
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
Why can a filter paper separate sand from salt water but not the salt?
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.
Do you still need a sand filter with a salt water system?
no the salt will disolve....
What method is used to separate sand from salt?
Mix the solution with water to dissolve the salt. Then filter the sand from the saltwater, evaporate the water from the saltwater and you will be left with the separated sand and salt. 1 Pour water on the mixture of salt and sand. 2 filter the salt water out of the sand with a filter paper. 3 evaporate the water out of the salt water, leaving only the salt. Add water, the salt dissolves, and the sand sinks to the bottom. After that, use a filter, and pour the mixture down it. The sand should get trapped in the top and the water and salt should go to the beaker below. After that is finished, put the sand to the side. Then evaporate the water in the salt and water mix. When all the water is gone, you should be left with salt rings at the bottom, and the sand and salt are separated. Add water, the salt dissolves, and the sand sinks to the bottom.

Why can sand and salt be separated using filter paper and funnel?
No, because only liquid passes through filter paper x
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 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 would you separate a mixture of sand and salt?
Evaporation is recommended. Firstly, put salt and sand into water and stir well to dissolve the salt. Secondly, filter out the sand from the salt solution using a filter funnel and filter paper. Thirdly, place the beaker of salt solution on a Bunsen burner until it evaporates fully and only salt crystals are left. Lastly, heat the salt crystals and sand until it is dry.
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 use filter paper to separate sand from water and not salt from water?
Because the salt dissolves in the water whereas sand does not.
Why can't you extract salt from salty water using filter paper?
The salt is in an ionized state ... only discrete particles can be extracted using filter paper, nothing that is dissolved.
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 is it possible to separate salt from sand in the sandsalt mixture?
Solvent extraction is the best method. Lets look at the components. We know salt is very soluble in water yet sand is not. Add the mixture to water and stir well. Filter it. The material left in the filter paper will be sand and the solution recovered will be salt solution - you can recover the solid salt vis evaporation.
