what is an alternate way to separate iron and salt except magnet?

Answer 1

Pour water over it to dissolve the salt.

Answer 2

Pour water over the salt and iron until the salt dissolves. Filter the iron out of the solution.

Answer 3

Persuming that u are referring to cooking salt. To separate the two i would first dissolve all the salt with water. Then filter the mixture to separate the iron from the salt solution. Make sure to wash the iron with water to make sure all traces of salt are removed. Then take the salt solution and heat it in an evaporating dish to remove the water leaving behind the salt.

Answer 4

Put the mix in water, the salt will dissolve. Filter the solution, and iron will stay in the filter. Then boil the water until only the salt is left.

Answer 5

Yes, Put them in water, drain the iron, Boil the water down, then remove the salt.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

add water, dissolve the salt, centrifuge, pour off liquid ( decant), wash with water again, centrifuge, decant again, dry iron... take water from decanting now boil away water salt remains.

Answer 9

Answer 10

A centrifuge will do that for you.
