What method will separate sugar and sand, iron and sulfur?

Answer 1

For the Sugar and Sand question...

Add water to the mixture and use filter paper to separate the solid and the solution.

-Between Sugar and Sand, only sugar would dissolve in water-

Then evaporate the solution.

You'll end up with sand being filtered out and sugar being dissolved by the water. If you evaporate the water, the sugar will become solid again.

----------------------

EDIT: Yeah okay I didn't do the iron and sulfur one right. Use bar magnet to pull the iron away from the sulfur.

Credit to the person who answered after me for the 2nd question.

Answer 2

If you don't mind your sugar in syrup form, just put the mixture in water and stir it well. The sugar dissolves leaving the sand at the bottom. Filter through a filter paper (coffee filter paper will do). Concentrate the solution to get a syrup. You can try to recrystallise the sugar but it is difficult.

Use a bar magnet to remove the iron filings from sulfur. Or dissolve the sulfur in a suitable organic solvent like carbon tetrachloride. I would prefer the magnetic separation.

Answer 3

following are the steps

1-separate iron using a magnate
2-dissolve the remaining mixture into water
3-by filtration separate sand
4-by the process of crystallization form the crystal of pure sugar from the mixture of sulfur and sugar
5- then evaporate the liquid left after crystallization to get sulfur

Answer 4

pick up iron with magnet

dissolve sugar and sand in water then filtrate sand cause sand does not dissolve in water.

u should look for the properties of materials u got to understand what method u can use in order to seperate.

Answer 5

Sugar is water-soluble, so if you dump the lot in water the sand will be left undissolved; although you'll have to evaporate the water to get solid sugar again. You should be able to separate iron and sulphur using a magnet.

Answer 6

first add water and conduct it over a strainer and boil the water and you have the sugar. then with a magnet separate iron and then heat the rest. the sulfur become gas .

Answer 7

Use a magnet for the iron (put the magnet in a plastic bag if there are iron filings, or you will never clean them off)

Don't know about the others

Answer 8

water

Answer 9

magnet for iron.water for suger.

Answer 10

filtration!!!!
