Question

experiment to separate the components of a mixture containing sand and common salt by filtration and evaporation​

Answer 1

Steps for separation of Sand:

   To the non-sublimate mixture add water.

   Stir the mixture with a clean glass rod.

   Filter the solution.Common salt solution is obtained as the filtrate, whereas sand is obtained as the residue on the filter paper.

Steps for separation of common salt (sodium chloride):

   Take the filtrate in a china dish.

   Evaporate the filtrate to dryness, where water evaporates leaving behind sodium chloride (common salt) in the china dish.
