It will be difficult to separate them in something that they both dissolve into (like water or ethanol). You can try changing the temperature and the sugar may precipitate out, depending on the sugar. To get a complete separation I would evaporated the water first and just separate the salt and sugar. Then you can separate the solids by dissolving the sugar into a polar solvent like toluene. NaCl will not dissolve in toluene but all of the sugar should.

Will water separate sand and sugar?

Yes, water can be used to separate sand and sugar. Sugar will dissolve in water, while sand will not. By adding water to the mixture, the sugar will dissolve and can be separated from the sand by filtration or evaporation.


How could you separate a mixture of sugar and white sand.?

Dissolve the sugar in water and then evaporate the water


Why is the sugar not dissolving in water?

Sugar may not be dissolving in water if the water is already saturated with sugar, meaning it cannot dissolve any more. Increasing the temperature of the water can help dissolve more sugar as heated water has higher solubility. Stirring or crushing the sugar can also help it dissolve in water more easily.


What physical property can you used to separate the sugar from the mixture?

You can use the property of solubility in water to separate sugar from a mixture. Since sugar is soluble in water, you can dissolve the mixture in water and then use filtration or evaporation to separate the sugar from the other components.


How can you separate sandshred candle wax and granulated sugar?

dissolve the sugar in water then filter to get the wax then boil off the water from the sugar


Why does a foil not separate chalk sugar and water?

A foil does not separate chalk, sugar, and water because these substances are all able to mix and dissolve in water. Chalk is insoluble in water but sugar is soluble, so both can dissolve into the water without being separated by the foil barrier.


How do you separate nickel sugar and sand from a mixture?

To separate nickel, sugar, and sand from a mixture, you can use a combination of physical methods. First, use a magnet to attract and remove the nickel, as it is magnetic. Then, dissolve the sugar in water to separate it from the sand, which does not dissolve. Finally, filter the sand from the sugar-water solution using a filtration process, leaving you with separate components.


Does sugar dissolve quicker in tap water than salt water?

Yes- this is because tap water is largely already unsaturated, making the sugar easier to dissolve. Salt water already has had salt dissolved into it, therefore making the water dissolve sugar more easily when it has had nothing else saturated into it. Hope that this helps! X


What method would be used to separate iron fillings from sugar?

A magnet will cause the iron to adhere and separate. Or adding water will dissolve the sugar and the iron can be filtered out and then the water evaporated from the sugar.


What separation technique would you use to separate bird seeds and sugar?

Mix in a little water, dissolve the sugar. Filter to separate the bird seed. Evaporate the water and the sugar crystals will reappear.


When a teaspoonful of sugar is added to water in a breaker the sugar dissolves?

This would be a mixture, because you could easily separate the water and sugar again by boiling the water.


What happens sugar is added to water?

The sugar will dissolve in water because sugar is polar and so is water with hydrogen bonds. When attraction happens, the water molecules will separate the sugar molecules and the sugar will be dissolved.
