Muddy water and salt solution contains, quite obviously, water, salt and mud. Due to the fact that the salt molecule is polar, it dissolves in water. [Note: The higher the temperature of the water, the more salt can be dissolved in it]. So we essentially have salt dissolved in water and mud suspended (and/or floating/sinking) in a beaker. Stir up the solution to make the mud/water mix homogenous (also for complete separation). Pour the mix through a filter+funnel set up. Notice how the water flows straight through, but the mud is retained in the fileter paper. Now you have a salt water solution. Heat the mixture until the water is boiling. This causes the water molecule to evapourate, thus leaving the salt behind.

It is better to use the muddy puddle water than the seawater because of the salt


How would you separate the components of a glycerol table salt and water solution?

Boiling off the water from a salt solution will separate the solid salt and water (which can be collected by a condenser).


How would you separate the sand and salt from a sample of sea water?

<p>You can separate the sand by filtration, but still the salt (mainly sodium chloride) is dissolved in the water. Then, you can separate the salt from water by distillation. The liquid you collect after water vapor is chilled is distilled water. You can use other methods to separate sand as sedimentation (usually slower than filtration) and salt as reverse osmosis.<p>


How many phases are present in a mixture of water sand and oil. How could you separate this mixture into individual substances.?

Sand would lay on the bottom, water would occupy the middle, and oil would float on the top. So, in a tall tube of all three substances, careful extraction from three heights of the tube would separate as required.


How would you separate a mixture of sand an salt?

Pour water into the mixture, let the salt dissolve.Then, put the wet-salty water-sand mixture through a sifter/filter.Take out the sand from the filter and dry it. COMPONENT 1 - SANDBoil the salt water solution and evaporate the water. The residue will be salt. COMPONENT 2 SALTDissolve the mixture in water first, before filtering the resultant solution. The residue is the sand, while the filtrate is the salt solution.

Why does water get muddy when it rains?

It gets muddy because the rain (water) mixed with some of the land (dirty, soil) turning into mud. Just as if you were to add some water to dirt, it would become muddy.

Why can't kelp live in muddy or deep waters?

1) Kelp, being vegetation needs sunlight to grow, hence why if it made its way into muddy or deep water where sunlight is hard to come by it would sease to grow and would die out. 2) In certain circumstances the conditions in muddy or deep water result in less oxygen/nutrients etc so again the organism would find it hard to grow.
