Sure, that's easy. First, pull out the iron filings with a magnet. Separate the pebbles by pouring the mixture through a grate, with holes large enough to allow the sand and salt to fall through, but not large enough to allow the pebbles to fall through. Finally, to separate the sand and the salt, just add water. The salt will dissolve, the sand won't. If you want to recover the salt in solid form, you can then boil away the water in the salt solution, and get your salt back. Done.

How do you separate a mixture of iron fillings copper metal and silicon pellets?

A container contains a mixture of sand salt and pebbles.how can each substance be separated from the other?

To separate sand from salt and pebbles, use a sieve to filter out the larger pebbles first, then add water to dissolve the salt and separate it from the sand through filtration. To separate salt from sand and pebbles, dissolve the salt in water and then evaporate the water to obtain the salt crystals, leaving the sand and pebbles behind. To separate pebbles from sand and salt, use a sieve or filtration to separate the larger pebbles from the sand and salt mixture.


How can you separate sand table salt iron fillings and naphthalene?

You can pull the iron out with a magnet. Heat the mixture, taking appropriate safety precautions, and the naphthalene will sublime off and can be collected on a cold surface. Add the remainder to water, the salt will dissolve and the sand won't. Filter to collect the sand, and crystallize the salt from the filtrate.


How do you separate iron fillings salt sugar and pepper?

You use a magnet, the magnet will remove the iron filings.hi hi,what you can do is that, get a strong magnet and place it above the mixture. The iron fillings will be attracted to the magnet since it is a magnetic material. In the end you'll be left with salt only (:


How you separate common salt and aluminium fillings?

Common salt and aluminum fillings can be separated by using a magnet. As aluminum is non-magnetic, the fillings can be easily separated from the magnetic salt using a magnet. Simply run the magnet over the mixture, and the aluminum fillings will be attracted to the magnet, leaving behind the salt.

Place the mixture in water. You recover the iron once the salt dissolves. Then allow the water salt mixture to dry and allow salt crystals to reform.
