Depends on the mixture, but if it were sand and water you could use filtration paper or just boil the water to make it evaporate leaving only sand behind.

If you wish to take the iron out of the sand grab a magnet and your sand will be clear! This separation technique is called magnesium. If you are separating the sand from a lighter solute (solid) like sawdust use flotation. Place them in water and the sand will drain down to the bottom whilst the sawdust will float on top.

Separating Sand and salt involves physical or chemical change?

Separations of mixtures would be a physical change because you are not changing the chemical make-up of the mixture. Instead, you are simply sorting parts of the mixture. For example, taking out all of the blue blocks in a bag full of red, yellow, green, and blue blocks would be an example of a physical change and separating a mixture.


Why would a screen be useful for separating a mixture of gravel and diatomaceous -earth powder?

A screen would be useful because it allows for the physical separation of different particle sizes. The gravel, being larger in size, would remain on top of the screen while the finer diatomaceous earth powder would pass through, effectively separating the two components of the mixture.


What equipment would be used to separate a mixture of salt and water?

A process called distillation would be used to separate a mixture of salt and water. Equipment such as a distillation flask, condenser, and heat source would be necessary. The mixture is heated, and the water evaporates leaving the salt behind, which can then be collected.
