how do you separate salt and sand?

Answer 1

Pour water over the salt and sand. Drain the water off and put it in a flat container. Let the sun evaporate the water off. the residue should be salt.

Answer 2

Add water to the mixture, then salt will dissolve in water and not the sand.

Next, filter out the sand from the mixture which consists of sand and dissolved salt in water.

After that, collect the filtrate and evaporate the water off. The end 'product' left is the salt.

Answer 3

Dissolve the salt in water and filter it to separate the salt water from the sand. Then just evaporate the water.

Answer 4

Dissolve the mixture of sand & salt in water. The salt forms a solution with water and separated from sand by fiteration. Finally water is avaporated toget the salt.

Answer 5

Shake it in plenty of water. Drain the water (salted) into a separate vessel, and boil off the water, leaving only the salt behind. Now you have sand and salt separated.

Answer 6

Place the mixture in a beaker and adddistilled water. heat on over a Bunsen flame, using tripod and guaze, stirring the mixture as you heat.

filter off the mixture and collect both the filtrate (salt solution) and the residue (sand).

wash the sand carefully until the washings do not give a white precipitate with silver nitrate solution (test for chloride ions). All the salt has been removed then. Place the sand in a dish and allow to dry in the sun or over a Bunsen flame.

Using a crucible or evaporating dish, evaporate the salt solution to concentrate it. When a drop of the solution on a glass rod forms crystals, then allow the solutionin the container to cool. Crystals of sodium chloride will form. Filter off the remaining solution (mother liquor) and collect the crystals. Allow the crystals to dry in the sun or over a slow Bunsen flame.

You now have dry samples of both salt and sand.

Answer 7

Well the possible way I know is this.

Mix sand and salt into suitable amount of water.Salt dissloves leaving Sand which can be easily filtered.
Now evaporate the water to get back Salt.

Answer 8

First of all add some water and stir. Then filter the solution. Thus sand will separate. Heat the solution till it and dries up leaving salt.

Answer 9

Dissolve the mixture in water. Salt will dissolve but sand won't.

Answer 10

Dissolve both of them in water.The salt will dissolve in it.Filter this solution and boil off the filtered solution .You will Have sand on the filter paper and salt in the beaker used for boiling.
