How do you separate a mixture that contains Iron fillings sand water and rubbing alcohol?
Here's my suggestion:
Pour the full mixture through a filter paper. This will leave the water/alcohol mix in the bottom of the beaker and the iron/sand mix in the filter paper.
To separate the iron and sand, I'd wait for the mix to dry and spread the mix out on a flat piece of paper. By using a magnet, you can pick out the iron filings- leaving the sand behind.
The water/alcohol mix poses more problems! Hopefully, a layer will form between the two due to different densities etc. If so, one layer can be removed via a pipette. However, a more tedious method could be to...
Set up a flask and sit it on a tripod and gauze. Put the mixture in the flask. GENTLY heat the flask with a Bunsen burner, with a distillation tube fitted to the flask ( also known as a reflux condenser). If the mixture isn't allowed to boil, the alcohol will evaporate away, go down the distillation vessel and into a clean beaker, leaving the water behind.
Hope this is adequate?!

What process could be used to separate alcohol from a mixture of alcohol?
One common process to separate alcohol from a mixture is fractional distillation. This involves heating the mixture to vaporize the alcohol, then condensing the vapor back into liquid form. The boiling points of the components in the mixture will help separate them based on their different volatilities.

How can you separate the mixture of sulphur power and iron fillings?
You can use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the sulfur powder. The iron fillings will be attracted to the magnet, allowing you to easily separate them from the sulfur powder.
What method could you use to separate a mixture of iron fillings into sand?
One method to separate iron fillings from sand is by using a magnet. The iron fillings are attracted to the magnet and can be easily separated from the sand.
How could you separate a mixture of iron fillings and sulfur powder?
One method is to use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the sulfur powder, as iron is magnetic but sulfur is not. Another method is to mix the mixture with a solvent that dissolves the sulfur powder, leaving the iron fillings behind. Lastly, heating the mixture can also cause the sulfur to sublimate, leaving the iron fillings behind.
What substance can be used to separate a mixture of iron fillings and powdered sulfur?
A magnet can be used to separate iron fillings from powdered sulfur. Iron fillings are magnetic and will be attracted to the magnet, while sulfur is non-magnetic and will remain unaffected.
Can you separate salt and iron filings?
Iron fillings can be separated: - with a magnet - after the dissolution of the mixture, by filtering
How can a student separate iron fillings from sand and water?
To separate out the iron fillings, run a magnet over the mixture of iron fillings, sand and water. As iron is a magnetic material, it will stick to the magnet thus allowing you to take it out. Then, run the mixture over a filter funnel with filter paper. After the filtration, the filtrate would be water and the sand would be stuck on the filter paper.

How do you obtain sulphur from a mixture of sulphur and iron fillings?
To obtain sulphur from a mixture of sulphur and iron fillings, you can use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the mixture. Then, you can heat the remaining mixture to sublimate the sulphur, which will turn into a gas and can be collected by condensing it back into a solid form.
