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.

Is salt and sand a heterogenous?

Yes. A heterogeneous mixture is one that lacks uniformity. When salt water (a homogeneous mixture) and sand are placed in the same container, the sand sinks to the bottom and the salt solution remains, largely, above the sand, demonstrating the characteristic lack of uniformity. See related link, below.

If you have white sand and table salt how do you separate each component without altering its identity?

You toss the sand and salt in a filter that will not allow the sand through, Then rinse the sand with clean water until all of the salt has been dissolved and removed from the sand, Then evaporate the water and you will have the salt separated from the sand.


What method will you use to separate salt and sand?

If you dissolve the salt and the sand in water the sand will stay beind and the salt would dissappear. But if you want the salt back you can evaporate it off, by boiling the water. (with the dissolved salt in it)
