Why wont a magnet help you separate a mixture of salt and water?
A magnet is not effective at separating salt and water because salt is not attracted to magnets. The components in the mixture have different physical properties (magnetism for the magnet, solubility for the salt) that make it impossible to separate them using a magnet. You would need to use methods like evaporation or filtration to separate salt from water.
Does putting a magnet in the water for 60 minutes make the magnet lose its magnetism?
No it wont but if the water is hot then it will lose its magnetism
Would a filter be useful to separate a sugar and water solution?
No. You should use evaporation of the water to separate the sugar and water.
How do you separate suspension of chalk in water?
Filtration would separate the water, leaving the chalk particles behind.
How do you separate a suspension of chalk in water?
Filtration would separate the water, leaving the chalk particles behind.
Will phosphorus sink or float in water?
Phosphorus will sink in water because it has a higher density than water.
Does phosphorus react with water?
Yes, phosphorus can react with water. White phosphorus is highly reactive with water, igniting spontaneously upon contact to form phosphoric acid and releasing heat. Red phosphorus is less reactive and does not ignite in water, but can slowly hydrolyze to form phosphoric acid.
How would you separate mud from water?
by evaporation
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 )
What physical property would be the most useful in the separation of fine saw dust and salt?
Magnetism would be the most useful physical property for separating fine saw dust and salt. However, since neither is magnetic, a process of dissolving the salt in water, filtering out the saw dust, and boiling away the water is necessary.
Will a nail lose its magnetism if it is dropped into water?
No.
How would you separate sugar from sugary water?
By evaporation.
