Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, it is possible.

Explanation:

When the mixture of sugar and sand is added to water, we can observe that sugar mixes uniformly throughout water and sand settles at the bottom of water. Then by filtering the mixture sand get separated as a residue. And at last by evaporation we can separate the sugar from the water. This entire process is called Solvent extraction method.

In this way we can separate sugar and sand from their mixture.
