Firstly add distilled water to the mixture and heat and stir the solution. Filter the mixture to collect iron and sand as residue and the aqueous solution of salt as the filtrate in a conical flask or beaker. Pour the aq solution of salt into a evaporating dish and evaporate it to dryness. The salt is then obtained. Using a magnet, hover the magnet across the mixture of iron and sand. The iron filings will be attracted to the magnet, separating the iron from sand. The sand remains.

How do you separate iron fillings and sand?

magnetic separation-the iron fillings are small and can be magnetize so, by using magnets you can able to separate sand from iron fillings


If you have a mixture of gravel and sand and salt and iron fillings what properties of these substances could you use to separate the mixture and how would you use those properties?

You could use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the mixture, as iron is magnetic while the other substances are not. Next, you could use water to dissolve the salt, allowing you to separate it from the sand and gravel mixture. Finally, you could use a sieve to separate the remaining sand and gravel mixture based on particle size.


How you would separate a mixture of sand sugar and iron fillings?

Use a magnet to remove the iron, then pour what is left into water. The sugar should dissolve. pour the solution through a sieve to remove the sand and gravel. A fine sieve can be used to separate the gravel and sand.


How will you separate a mixture of salt and sand will it be different if the mixture consists of iron filling instead of salt explain?

To separate a mixture of salt and sand, you can use the method of dissolving the salt in water and then filtering the sand out. If the mixture consists of iron filings instead of salt, you can use a magnet to attract and separate the iron filings from the sand. This method works since iron is magnetic while sand is not.


How you would separate a mixture of water sand salt and iron filings into its four component parts?

In solution, the salt will be dissolved in the water, the sand and iron will settle to the bottom of the container. Separate out the water, evaporate the water and the salt will remain, separate the sand and iron filings with a magnet.

How can you separate sand table salt iron fillings and naphthalene?

You can pull the iron out with a magnet. Heat the mixture, taking appropriate safety precautions, and the naphthalene will sublime off and can be collected on a cold surface. Add the remainder to water, the salt will dissolve and the sand won't. Filter to collect the sand, and crystallize the salt from the filtrate.


How could you separate iron fillings from sand?

With a magnet : only iron will be attracted.


What if salt was added in with sand and iron fillings?

Can you separate sand salt pebbles and iron fillings?

Sure, that's easy. First, pull out the iron filings with a magnet. Separate the pebbles by pouring the mixture through a grate, with holes large enough to allow the sand and salt to fall through, but not large enough to allow the pebbles to fall through. Finally, to separate the sand and the salt, just add water. The salt will dissolve, the sand won't. If you want to recover the salt in solid form, you can then boil away the water in the salt solution, and get your salt back. Done.

Separation method for sulfur sand and iron fillings?

One possible method is to use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the sulfur sand. The magnet will attract the iron fillings, leaving behind the sulfur sand. Alternatively, the mixture can be treated with a solvent that dissolves the sulfur sand, allowing it to be separated from the iron fillings by filtration.
