How do you separate a mixture of sand and iron filings and gold dust?
First, place the sulfur, sand and iron filings in a plastic container. Next, use a magnet to remove the iron filings from the sulfur-sand mixture and surely,the iron filings will connect to the magnet, leaving the sulfur and sand behind.
How you would separate a mixture of water sand salt and iron filings into its four component parts?
In solution, the salt will be dissolved in the water, the sand and iron will settle to the bottom of the container. Separate out the water, evaporate the water and the salt will remain, separate the sand and iron filings with a magnet.
How can sand and iron separate the particles?
What is special about iron filings? Anything with iron in it has this property... magnets are attracted to iron! Magnets do not attract sand. You can use a magnet to separate iron filings from sand.
Is iron filings and sand a compound or an element?
compoundIf the iron fillings are pure, they contain only one type of atom (all the atoms have the same number of protons). Thus, the filings would be a sample of the element iron. If the filings are rusty, then they would contain compounds (iron oxides).
How do you explain the process of separating a mixture consisting of iron filings and sand in a plastic bowl?
Here's the full scientific report I had to do in year 7. Title: Magnetic Separation Aim: To separate iron filings from sand using a magnet. Equipment: Magnet, sand and iron filing mixture, plastic bowl Method: 1. Pour the mixture into the plastic bowl 2. Move the magnet slowly through the mixture Results: When the magnet was moved through the mixture, it picked up the iron filings but not the sand. Conclusion: In this experiment we demonstrated that a magnet can pick up iron filings in a sand and iron filing mixture through magnetism. The aim was achieved as we were able to separate the iron filings from the sand.
How do you separate a mixture of sand and iron filings?
By using a magnet to separate the iron filings, you'd be left with the sulfur and sand mix. Selecting a solvent for the sulfur will allow you to dissolve the sulfur, and then all you have to do is put the sand in a filter and wash the sulfur through with the solvent.
How do you separate a mixture of sand and iron filings and gold dust?

How would you separate a mixture of water sand salt and iron filings into its four components?
In solution, the salt will be dissolved in the water, the sand and iron will settle to the bottom of the container. Separate out the water, evaporate the water and the salt will remain, separate the sand and iron filings with a magnet.
How would you separate a mixture of sand sawdust iron filings and sugar?
water and a magnet
How you would separate a mixture of water sand salt and iron filings into its four component parts?
In solution, the salt will be dissolved in the water, the sand and iron will settle to the bottom of the container. Separate out the water, evaporate the water and the salt will remain, separate the sand and iron filings with a magnet.
How when cold do you separate a mixture of iron filings and sand?
This can be done by the processs of magnetism. Holding amagent near the mixture will cause the iron filings to be attracted out of the sand.
How can sand and iron separate the particles?
What is special about iron filings? Anything with iron in it has this property... magnets are attracted to iron! Magnets do not attract sand. You can use a magnet to separate iron filings from sand.
Is iron filings and sand a mixture or a solution?
It is a mixture
Why can you separate sand from iron filings?
because the iron can be picked up by a magnet
How did you separate the components of the mixtures of iron filings and sand?
You can move a magnet back and forth right above the mixture. The iron filings will get attracted to the magnet and stick to it while the sand will remain in the container. Iron is a magnetic material while sand is not.
What can we use to separate iron filings mixed with sand?
We can use a magnet. It will attract the iron and pull it from the sand.
Is iron filings and sand a compound or an element?
compoundIf the iron fillings are pure, they contain only one type of atom (all the atoms have the same number of protons). Thus, the filings would be a sample of the element iron. If the filings are rusty, then they would contain compounds (iron oxides).
