In several ways.

They can pump seawater into evaporation troughs.

They can drill holes in salt deposits and pump in water, let the water dissolve the salt then pump the brine into evaporation troughs.

They can also mine the salt like any other mineral would be.

How would you separate rock salt to obtain salt crystals and pure dry sand?

To separate rock salt into salt crystals and pure dry sand, first dissolve the rock salt in water, creating a saltwater solution. Next, filter the mixture to separate the sand, which will remain on the filter paper, from the saltwater solution. Finally, evaporate the water from the saltwater solution to obtain pure salt crystals, leaving behind the dry sand collected from the filtration process.


Could a mixture of salt and water also be called solution?

yes because salt and water make saltwater in a solution.


How is the hot saltwater solution is classified?

Hot saltwater solution is classified as a saturated solution because it contains the maximum amount of salt that can dissolve at that temperature. It is also a homogeneous mixture, as the salt is uniformly distributed throughout the water.


How is rock salt separated industrially?

Rock salt is separated industrially through a process called solution mining or cavern mining. This involves injecting water into underground salt deposits to dissolve the salt and then pumping the saltwater solution to the surface. The solution is then evaporated to recover the rock salt.


Does a saltwater solution form when a solid dissolves in a gas?

A saltwater solution forms when salt is dissolved in water. Solids do not dissolve in gasses, though they can sometimes change from a solid state to a gaseous state in a process known as sublimation. This is not analogous to dissolving.
