To separate a mixture of salt and sand, take the whole thing and chuck it in a container like a bowl or bucket. Now add water to cover the mixture, and stir well to dissolve the salt. Pour the liquid off through a filter and collect the solution that comes through. Rinse the sand with more water, and let that come through the filter as well. Now you have wet sand (that has had the salt washed out of it) and a solution of salt and water. If you spread the sand out on a clean flat surface, you can let it dry and then recover your sand. Take the solution of salt and water and heat it to "reduce" it, and then put the solution on "low" to quickly evaporate the water and leave the salt. Recover the salt and finish drying it if it is not dry already. You have performed a physical process to separate a mixture, and you've recovered your two original materials.

∙ 11y agoIf you are trying to save the sand, then just place everything in distilled water to dissolve the salts and then pour the mixture through a filter (coffee filter works) to collect the sand. You can rinse a few times this way to be sure it's clean. If you want to save salt, do the same thing but save the filtered water in a container (glass will be best) then evaporate the water to get the dry salt in your container.

How would you separate a mixture of sand and salt?
Evaporation is recommended. Firstly, put salt and sand into water and stir well to dissolve the salt. Secondly, filter out the sand from the salt solution using a filter funnel and filter paper. Thirdly, place the beaker of salt solution on a Bunsen burner until it evaporates fully and only salt crystals are left. Lastly, heat the salt crystals and sand until it is dry.
Describe a pocedure that could be used to separate a mixture consisting of sand and salt?

Name a suitable technique to separate sand from ammonium chloride?

What methods do you think you will use to separate sand from salt?
Add water, separate the water from the sand. Let the water evaporate.
Why do you separate a mixture of salt water and sand?
Since salt is soluble in water then you have to separate the mixture from sand first and this is done by filtration. The sand will be left in the filter paper and the filtererd solution would be that of salt and water. To get the salt you would then have to heat the solution and the water will evaporate leaving the salt behind.Filter Paper

If you have white sand and table salt how do you separate each component without altering its identity?
You toss the sand and salt in a filter that will not allow the sand through, Then rinse the sand with clean water until all of the salt has been dissolved and removed from the sand, Then evaporate the water and you will have the salt separated from the sand.

How can you physically separate a mixture of iron fillings table salt and white sand?
by putting all of the substances on a sheet or plate and then using a magnet underneath to pull the iron fillings away. then for your table salt and white sand you just use small mesh and voila! all wrong ... 1st, use magnet to separate the iron filling from the mixture of sand with table salt 2nd add water to dissolve the salt from the mixture with the sand and filtrate the liquid sand has separated from mixture of salt 3rd place the the filtrate liquid to a burner with a evaporating dish, the water will be evaporate and the remaining residue would be the small crystal particles which is the salt.
What melts ice cubes faster table salt or sand?
