What else can I help you with?
Is sand heavier then salt?
Sand is heavier than salt That's why sand bags are used, rather than salt bags.
How can physical properties be used to separate iron sand salt and water?
Use a magnet to remove the iron, a filter or screen to remove the sand, and a still to remove the salt.
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.
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.
How can you separate salt from sea water?
1 Pour water on the mixture of salt and sand. 2 filter the salt water out of the sand with a filter paper. 3 evaporate the water out of the salt water, leaving only the salt. the problem with this is when the salt desolves in the water the salt water also soaks into the sand so really when the sand dries out there is salt
What is the name called for separating sand from water?
the name which is used for separating sand from water is called filtering.
Why might you need to separate sand and salt?
Salt may need to separated from sand so the sand can be used to make mortar for construction applications (like a brick wall). Salt in sand will "kill" the strength and resilience of brick or block mortar, and no one with any sense will use sand with salt in it to mix up cement. Bad idea. There may be other reasons for separating salt from sand. And it is probably best done by "washing out" that salt. Salt will, as you probably realize, dissolve in water and sand will not. A continuous wash with fresh water will remove most all the salt hiding in the sand.
How can you separate salt and sand?
You can dissolve the sand and salt into the water. when this happens the salt will be dissolved and the sand will stay at the bottom. then get some filter paper and pour the mixture through it. the dissolved salt and water will go through leaving the sand. there you have the sand aside. to get the salt aside just boil the water until it evaporates completely and you will be left will your salt. then you have your sand and salt separated. by sifting it
What can distillation be used for?
separating salt from sea water.
What happens when sand or salt is used in place of the liver?
What happens when sand or salt is used in place of the liver
When is distillation used in everyday life?
When separating salt and water.
What separation can be used to separate salt iron and sand?
A magnet can be used to separate iron (which is magnetic) from salt and sand. Next, water can be added to dissolve the salt, leaving behind the sand. The remaining sand can be filtered out to further separate it from the salt solution.
What process did you use in separating salt from water?
Boil the water so that the salt can recrystallize thus separating the salt from water (evaporation).
Why is sand not as fast at melting ice as salt?
Sand isn't used for melting snow. Sand is used for traction.
Why are magnets useful for separating materials to be recycled?
They pick up only certain materials and can be used to separate them.
What is 2 examples of evaporation used as a method of separation?
The separation of salt from seawater involves using evaporation to remove the water and leave behind the salt crystals. Evaporation is used in the process of making salt from brine, where water is evaporated to isolate the salt.
What materials did they use for roman glass?
The Romans fused silica, the main component of the local sand, and soda by heating them. The silica is the main component of quartz and non- tropical sand. The soda they used was nitron, a salt which was found on dry lake beds. The main source of this salt was Egypt. The Romans also used lime as a stabiliser.
