Answer 1

A seperation method that would be most successful woth the separation of a salt and water mixture would be evaporation for these reasons, (1) There are no magnetic elements involved with salt nor with water, (2) Observing colour differences would not have much affect on separating the two, and (3) Chromatography is used to separate two liquids, such as speparating two dyes, not salt and water.

Evaporation:
The water will evaporate, leaving you with salt as a solid.
