Question

You are asked to separate sand and sodium chloride name the methods needed to carry out the procedure. Explain how you would carry out the procedure to obtain pure sand and sodium chloride back.

Answer 1

Method: Filtration

Sodium chloride is your everyday common table salt! So it's just separating salt fro. Water!

Procedure: The mixture of salt and sand can be separated by filtration followed by an evaporation process. Filtration can separate sand from a combination of sand and salt solution (salt dissolved in water). Sand stays on the filter paper as a residue after filtering. By boiling the filtrate, common salt may now be produced. Boiling causes all of the water to evaporate, leaving just salt remaining. This is known as evaporation. Thus, this is how salt and sand are separated.
