How would I write a brief procedure on how I could use solubility to separate a mixture into pure substances? Does this involve the percentage of solubility or evaporation?
Please respond in a couple days. Thank You!

It involves evaporation alright!
Well, assume there's a mixture of to substances. Add a solvent which dissolves one of the substances. Then filter it. You have now got one substance. Now use evaporation (or any suitable method) to separate solvent from second substance.
Like sand and sugar. Add water, sugar dissolves. Filter sand out. Heat water to get back sugar

well i did this experiment in class once...it is like she took water in a beaker and than she mixed sugar into it and than put some sand into. Let the mixture get mixed. Than 1st take a sand paper and filter the sand out. So now you remain with sugar and water together. After that heat the mixture and let all the water go it might take time for the water to go away but than at the end you will remain with sugar. You can tell it is sugar because it gets really brown. And if you keep it on the heat for a while it will start smelling like Carmel. Ya mine is the same thing as what niks told you above me.....anyways hope this information helps.....GOOD LUCK.
