That is not an effective method. Easier and more efficient to fit a sediment filter, or if the sand is really excessive, what is called a "swirlaway filter"

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.


What teqchnique used to separate pebbles and sand?

One common technique used to separate pebbles and sand is sieving. By passing a mixture of pebbles and sand through a sieve with appropriate mesh size, the smaller particles such as sand will pass through while the larger pebbles will be retained on top of the sieve.


What separation method should you use for pebbles and sand?

You can use the method of sieving to separate pebbles and sand. Sieving involves passing a mixture of pebbles and sand through a mesh or sieve that allows the smaller particles (sand) to pass through while retaining the larger particles (pebbles).


What rocks are a mixture of rounded pebbles and sand'?

Conglomerates.


What is more permeable sand or clay or pebbles?

Sand is more permeable than clay and pebbles because it has larger pore spaces between particles, allowing water to flow more easily through it. Clay has smaller pore spaces, making it less permeable. Pebbles have even larger spaces between them than sand, but water can still flow more easily through sand due to its finer texture.


Can you separate sand salt pebbles and iron fillings?

Sure, that's easy. First, pull out the iron filings with a magnet. Separate the pebbles by pouring the mixture through a grate, with holes large enough to allow the sand and salt to fall through, but not large enough to allow the pebbles to fall through. Finally, to separate the sand and the salt, just add water. The salt will dissolve, the sand won't. If you want to recover the salt in solid form, you can then boil away the water in the salt solution, and get your salt back. Done.


Determine a container contains a mixture of sand salt and pebbles How can each substance be seperated from the others?

To separate a mixture of sand, salt, and pebbles, you can use a combination of physical methods. First, use a sieve or filter to separate the pebbles from the sand and salt, as the pebbles will be larger. Next, dissolve the salt in water, which will separate it from the sand. Finally, filter the mixture to collect the sand, and then evaporate the water to retrieve the salt.


How would a combination of pebbles and water be similar to a combination of sand and water?

A mixture of pebbles and water would be heterogeneous.


When was The Sand Pebbles created?

The Sand Pebbles was created in 1962.


Do pebbles and sand drop to the bottom of water to form a mixed layer?

Yes, pebbles and sand are denser than water, so they will sink to the bottom. Over time, they can form a mixed layer as the smaller particles settle in between the larger pebbles.


Which sediment grains sink faster pebbles or sand grain?

Pebbles sink faster than sand grains due to their larger size, weight, and density. The larger surface area of pebbles compared to sand grains experiences less resistance as they sink through the water, allowing them to fall more quickly. Sand grains, being smaller and lighter, have a larger surface area that creates more friction with the water, slowing down their sinking rate.


Does salt water or fresh water filter sand gravel soil and pebbles better and why?

Water does not filter particles: it is the other way around. Pebbles, gravel, and sand are used to filter water, with the smallest particle size (sand) filtering the most particulates from the water, whether it is salt water or fresh water.
