You could use a density column to separate mixtures of different solids by adding substances that have different densities. Then you would add in the solids, which would land or stop at a substance.

∙ 8y agoSubstances of different densities can be separated by using separating funnel.
Also, you can use a graduated cylinder or a beaker with water, then define if it sinks or floats. If it sinks, it has a low density, and if it floats if it has a high density. This is for comparing two densities

How many pounds of wax equals 16 fl oz?
What kind of wax ? Different waxes have different densities.
Can a combined substance be separated physically?
A substance that is chemically combined cannot be separated physically.In some situations, you can and can't separate combined substances physically. For example, you can separate sand from rocks physically, but you cannot separate water and ice cream, even though the substances did not undergo a chemical change, because the water soaked into the ice cream.
20 kilos flour to litres?
There can be no conversion.A kilogram is a measure of mass. A litre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion. Flours from different grains have different densities.
Why dont equal masses of golf balls and ping pong balls contain the same number of balls?
Their densities are different.
What property does separation by density rely on to separate out parts of a solution?
Substances with different densities will separate into layers.
How do you separate layers of different densities?
Gravity - using a centrifuge to speed things up. Note that if the substances are mixable then this fails.
If you have two substances that are the same size and have similar densities how ever they have different boiling points how would you separate them?
Simply heat the mixture. Given that they have different boiling points, one will evaporate before the other and thus you will have two separate substances
What will happen if you swirl a mixture of substances with different densities in a centrifuge?
They will separate out, with the most dense moving furthest away from the centre of rotation.
How can the volume of two substances be the same but the mass be different?
They have different densities.
How many ug in a liter?
That depends on the substance. Different substances have different densities (mass / volume).
How gram is equal to 1 spoon?
A spoon is a measure of volume. Different substances have different densities so that the same volume of two substances can have very different masses.
Can you convert 0.5 mg to ml?
Yes, if you know the density of the substance. Different substances have different densities, i.e., different amounts of mass per volume. mg is a measure of mass, ml is a measure of volume.Yes, if you know the density of the substance.

What method could you use to separate 2 things that have different densities?
A centrifuge.
You rapidly swirl a mixture of substances with different densitites in a centrifuge what will happen?
Substances with greater densities will be pulled to the bottom of the test rube.
How many teaspoons are in 42 g?
This can't be answered without naming the substance. Different substances have different densities.
Will every solid with the same volume have the same density?
No. Solids made of different substances will normally have different densities.
