When carbon disulphide is added to the mixture,sulphur dissolves. When this mixture is filtered the filtrate is sulphur solution while the residue is charcoal.

Leaving it open evaporates the sulphur solution. Carbon disulphide evaporates and sulphur crystals are left behind.

Salt is soluble, charcoal isn't. Add water to the mixture and stir it - the salt dissolves. Filter the mixture, the charcoal is left behind on the filter paper and can be evaporated on the paper. the collected solution can be poured into an evaporating dish and left to evaporate, leaving the salt.

you would filter it using filter paper, just like you do when trying to get sand out of a mixture.

charcoal has a higher density so it would settle to the bottom

Add enough water to make sure that all the sugar is dissolved. Separate the sand and the charcoal from the sugar water by filtration. The charcoal then can be burned off.
