In general, you look for differences in physical properties, like magnetism, solubity, density etc. Iron is a good candidate for magnetic separation. Salt (NaCl) is soluble - it dissolves in water (and can later be recrystallized by heating.) Lead remains when the other marterials are carried off. /Brian W

A container of salt was accidentally poured into a jar of iron filings luckily salt and iron filing form a heterogenous mixture what is heterogenous mixture how can you separate these two material?

A heterogeneous mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not uniformly distributed and can be visibly distinguished. To separate salt and iron filings, you can use a magnet to attract and pull out the iron filings, leaving the salt behind. Alternatively, you can dissolve the salt in water and then use filtration to separate the undissolved iron filings.
