Question

Describe an activity to separate the mixture of sand and water​

Answer 1

evaporation or destillation

Step-by-step explanation:

When sand is added to water it either hangs in the water or forms a layer at the bottom of the container. Sand therefore does not dissolve in water and is insoluble. It is easy to separate sand and water by filtering the mixture. Salt can be separated from a solution through evaporation.

Answer 2

Sedimentation and decantation

Step-by-step explanation:

Sedimentation and decantation: Mixture is kept undisturbed for some time. After some time, sand being heavier and insoluble in water, settles down at the bottom of container. Now, water is poured into another container to separate it from sand.
