Question

carol accidentally dropped a container of salt and sodium chloride, into a container of a dark grey metal. carol is pretty sure that the gray metal is iron fillings. using the table above, help carol seperate the two substances

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to separate the mixture is by using a bar magnet. We explore the magnetic property of the iron fillings in the mixture to separate it out.

• The mixture is spread out thinly on a flat surface.
• A bar magnet is hovered above the spread of the mixture
• The magnet attracts the iron fillings to itself
• This will leave the salt behind in the mixture.
