How do you separate a mixture of common salt and wax and sand to obtain a pure sample of each substance?
Each of the three substances have a trait that makes them unique from the other two. By using this trait, you can seeperate them from each other. The wax, for example, has a low melting point. The salt will dissolve in water. If you start by heating the wax-sand-salt mix, until it has liquefied, then put it into boiling water, the wax should float, the salt should dissolve, and the sand should sink. As long as you can mix the wax around enough in a semi-liquid state to get the salt and sand free, you should be good.
