how will i separate a mixture of salt, sand and water?

Question

I would like to know how i can separate salt, sand and water so that i have three different containers holding salt, sand and water.

Answer 1

Sand would not be water soluble, salt is. Filter the solution to take out the sand. Set up a distillation and distill the water away from the filtrate, which will leave the salt behind.

Answer 2

The salt, sand and water can form one mixture, the salt will dissolve in the water and the sand will not.

steps in seperation
1. filter the mixture (sand can be extracted by filtration, which will leave the salt and water mixture)

2. Heat the solution gently in a flask with a stopper that has tubing running through it and into a separate flask. Continue until all water is gone and only salt remains.

3. filter the remaining wet salt then put the filter paper onto a watch glass and put irt close to heat for the excess water to evoperate.

At the end you should have:
1. Sand on a filter paper
2. water in a separate flask
3. salt on a filter paper

Answer 3

Salt is soluble in water (it dissolves in water). The salt would have dissolved in the water while sand is insoluble.Filter the mixture through filter paper in a filter. The sand will be left behind in the filter paper. Then evaporate the filtrate which went through the filter (salt solution) which will slowly begin forming salt crystals as the water evaporates. You will need a condenser(not sure what it's called) or something to catch the water as it evaporates. You will soon have just salt left and the sand will be by itself also. You would have separated the salt from the sugar. The water vapour can be cooled and you wil also have water. There you go.

Answer 4

Filter the sand/salt/water mixture to separate the sand from the salt water.

Boil the salt water in a still until dry, and condense the water vapors.

You now have sand, distilled water, and salt.

The distilled water and salt are pure, but the wet sand will have a little salt in it.

You can wash the sand with some distilled water, and separate the salt and water in the still. After a few washings, the sand will be clean.

Answer 5

In chemistry terms:
1. Stir and dissolve sand and salt in the water.
2. As sand is not soluble, separate sand from salt and water by filtration.
3. Sand is collected as the residue.
4. By evaporation, evaporate the solution of salt and water . 5. Salt is collected.

Answer 6

Sand can be separated through a very fine screen,or just let it settle to the bottom since its a solid. Then you can let the liquid evaporate thus leaving the salt. There is also a centrifugal process that can be use to separate solids from liquids.

Answer 7

Filter out the sand.

Allow the water to evaporate and leave the salt crystals in the container.

Answer 8

for separation of sand filtration process is recommende and evaporation for separation of salt. but i dont know what to do to get back the heated water

Answer 9

First Decantation i.e. retaining the solution overnight. Sand will settle down. To pour off leaving sediment. The sediment will be sand and then evaporation of solution by boiling and condensation method. It will separate the salt from water.

Answer 10

Let it go through filter paper then you boil the salt and sand mixture to collect it if you want the waster to come back use method of distillation.
