Because - you can simply evaporate the water by heating it, and collect the water in a separate vessel - leaving the dry sand intact.
Yes, sand and water can be separated through a physical process called filtration, making it a reversible change. By passing the mixture through a filter, the sand particles are retained while the water passes through, effectively separating the two components.
Mixing sand and water is a physical change. When sand is combined with water, the individual particles of sand do not undergo any chemical transformation; they simply become wet and can be easily separated again. This process does not alter the chemical composition of either the sand or the water.
yes, just evaporate water and you are left with sand
Yes, the mixing of sand and gravel is a physical change, which means it is generally reversible. You can separate sand and gravel by using methods like sieving or washing, as their different sizes and densities allow for such separation. However, the ease of separation may depend on the specific mixture and the method used.
Yes, mixing iron fillings with sand is a physical change. This is because no new substances are formed during the mixing process; the iron fillings and sand retain their original properties and can be separated back into their individual components.

The sand will simply go to the bottom of the container of water. Water and sand do not mix.

Mixing sodium chloride and water is a physical change. The chemical composition of the sodium chloride (NaCl) remains the same in the solution, the sodium chloride molecules are simply dispersed in the water. The change is reversible and does not involve a chemical reaction.
Sandy water, which typically refers to a mixture of sand and water, is generally considered irreversible. Once sand is mixed with water, it can settle and form a suspension or a slurry, but separating the sand from the water completely may require filtration or sedimentation, and may not restore the original state of the sand and water. While some physical processes can separate them, the mixing alters their original conditions, making it largely irreversible under normal circumstances.
