Use a magnet to collect all of the iron fillings. Then you make some static electricity with a balloon. Gently rub the statically charged balloon on the contents and it will take everything but the benzoic acid. Now put the rest of the mixture into water. The sawdust will float to the top, scrape them off. The salt will dissolve into the water. The sand will sink to the bottom, filter or seive the mixture. Boil the salty water until all the water has evaporated. Salt residue will be on the sides and the bottom of the pot and can easilly be scraped off. You have successfully separated salt, sand, iron, sawdust, and benzoic acid.

How would you separate gold dust from a mixture of iron filings and salt?

Mix with water, the pass through a filter paper. The salt will be dissolved in the water so it will be removed with the water, leaving the iron filings and gold dust on the filter paper. Leave this to dry then separate off the iron filings using a magnet, leaving behind the gold.

How can you separate salt and camphor?

Camphor is a volatile solid i.e. its vapour pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure much below the melting point. But, common salt is non-volatile. Hence, camphor may be very easily separated from common salt by a physical process, SUBLIMATION! props to yahoo answers

How do you separate iron nails and salt?

One way to separate iron nails and salt is by using a magnet. Since iron is magnetic, you can move a magnet over the mixture and the iron nails will be attracted to the magnet, allowing you to separate them from the salt. Another method is to dissolve the mixture in water, as salt dissolves readily, and then use filtration to separate the solid iron nails from the dissolved salt solution.

How does one separate a mixture of powdered camphor iron filings salt and sand?

Take a magnet to get the iron out.Blow the poppy seed out with wind blowing or vacuum cleanerDissolve the benzoic acid in pure alcohol (solubillity max. 2.6 M), filter off.Dissolve the salt in warm water, filter off the 'left-over' sand.(it is possible to reverse the last to steps, but then it is more difficult to evaporate the 'benzoic acid'-tincture, after its final filtration, there will be also some salty water -from the previous step- dissolved in it)
