a mixture of iron filings and sand
if we have a mixture of sand salt and iron first the iron well be separated with the magnet then the remaining mixture will be put in water where the sand will goes to the bottom. at last the water will be evaporated and the salt remains

Wiki User
∙ 15y agoIt depends on what material it is. If it's a metal that's attracted to a magnet, yes. If it's a material such as plastic, no.
Wiki User

How is iron ore separated from rock?
A magnet is used to separate iron from non-ferrous material in the pulverized ore.
What is the material used in permanent magnet?
ferromagnetic
Why should the material used for making permanent magnets have high coercivity?
The material should have high retentivity so that the magnet is strong and high coercivity so that the magnetisation is not erased by stray magnetic fields
Why is the magnetic length of a bar magnet less than the actual physical length of it?
The strength of a bar magnet comes from the way the electrons in the outer shell align. The length is less important that the material. Most bar magnets are made from iron, a fairly inexpensive material. Other materials can produce far more powerful magnets but are far more expensive. As a result, they are only used for special purposes.
Is iron oxide used in magnets?
Yes, we can see the use of iron oxide (the Fe2O3 kind, which is iron (III) oxide) used in magnets. There are a number of different things that could be used in a magnet, but simply using this material, often referred to as ferrite, and a little bit of some other materials to make up the ferrite, will allow for the construction of a magnet.
What is used to separate magnetic material from a mixture of other substances?
A magnet. The magnet will attract the magnetic material to it and so separate the magnetic material from the mixture.
How is iron separated from ore?
A magnet is used to separate iron from non-ferrous material in the pulverized ore.
How is iron ore separated from rock?
A magnet is used to separate iron from non-ferrous material in the pulverized ore.
What is the material used in permanent magnet?
ferromagnetic
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?
Salt will not be attracted to a magnet. A magnet can be used to separate the two. Heterogeneous means it can be mixed but it is not chemically combined
How you separate separate aluminium pieces from salt?
One commonly used method to separate aluminium pieces from salt is by using a magnet. Since aluminium is not magnetic, the magnet can attract and separate the aluminium pieces from the salt. Another method is to dissolve the salt in water and then use filtration to separate the larger aluminium pieces from the saltwater solution.
What instrument can be used to separate some metals from a mixture?
A magnet
What could be used to separate nails from saw dust?
magnet
How are magnets used in fridge door works?
They basically work just like any other permanent magnet. The magnet, and the magnetic material (iron-based) in the refrigerator, attract one another.
What can be used to separate iron from aluminum?
Try a magnet. A magnet picks up iron. It does not pick up aluminum.
Why a magnet is used to separate iron filings from saw dust?
because magnet has a property that can attract metals/metal particles
What methods can be used to separate iron particles from sand?
Run a magnet over the mixture. The iron particles will be attracted to the magnet and the magnet will leave behind the sand.
