yes one is heavier than the other can't remember which but if you mix them in the water and let it evaporate one will settle on top of the other

Water cannot be used to separate salt from sugar because it will dissolve both of them. Try using a volatile organic solvent like acetone, ethyl alcohol or isopropanol. The salt should be much less soluble than the sugar in the blended solvent mixture and you may see"clouds" of salt form as you approach the solubility of salt in the mixed solvent. Filter the mixture and the precipitate is salt.

Much more sugar than salt can be dissolved in water, especially if heated, but you cn not get a good separation. If yu had boiling water and dissolved enough sugar to get a saturated solution, and then cooled the solution with a string for crystalation you could get sugar crystals (frational crystalization). Salt does not change its solubility much with increase in temperature.

Dissolve the sugar and salt interior the water. Evaporate as lots of the water as available with out precipitating the two of the compounds. Slowly upload an organic and organic risky solvent, including acetone. The salt could be much less soluble than the sugar interior the mixed solvent combination and additionally you may even see "clouds" of salt style as you approach the solubility of salt interior the mixed solvent. sparkling out the brought about salt.

No , since pure wtarer dissolves both
