Use a magnet to remove the iron filings. The add water to dissolve the salt, and the aluminum filings will settle to the bottom of the container. Pour that salt water into a pan, heat it and evaporate the water, leaving the salt in the pan.

How can you separate a mixture of sand table salt iron filings and napthaline?

To separate a mixture of sand, table salt, iron filings, and naphthalene, you can use a combination of physical methods. First, use a magnet to attract and remove the iron filings. Next, dissolve the salt in water, filtering out the undissolved sand and naphthalene. Finally, evaporate the water from the salt solution to retrieve the salt, leaving behind the naphthalene, which can be collected through sublimation if heated gently.

How do you separate aluminum from soil?

With no great ease! Problematically, aluminum is not magnetic so there goes the easy option. To extract aluminum from ore or in prohibitively small quantities, from soil....it might be a smart idea to take the soil sample and heat it to a high temperature - burning the organic matter and liquidising the aluminum for easier collection. The problem here is, you would end up with aluminum oxide. Then, massive amounts of electricity is sent through the aluminum oxide to separate the oxygen molecules. What remains is a powder that is grittier than baby powder, almost with a texture of regular table salt.


What is the densities of iron filings table salt pepper in water salt and iron filings and sugar in water?

The density of iron filings is about 7.87 g/cm³, table salt is 2.16 g/cm³, and pepper varies but is generally around 1 g/cm³. When added to water, the individual densities will affect how they interact: iron filings will sink, table salt will dissolve, and pepper will float. Similarly, the density of sugar is around 1.59 g/cm³, and when added to water, it will dissolve as well.
