Question

Nancy dumps a mixture of salt, iron filings, and wood shavings into a beaker of water and stirs for 60 seconds. Predict the appearance after she stops stirring and allows the mixture to settle.

Answer 1

The iron filings, and wood shavings will still be visible, and settled at the bottom; and the salt will not be able to be seen anymore, because it would have already dissolved into the water. Please mark if its correct :)

Answer 2

When the mixture settles, there will be no visible salt, but she will see the iron shavings at the bottom of the beaker and the woodchips floating.

Step-by-step explanation:

The salt will dissolve, the iron shavings will sink and the wood chips will float because they're less dense.
