Question

How will you separate a mixture of iron powder and sand?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Iron is magnetic and the other two not, which means a magnet could be used to attract the iron filings out of the mixture, leaving the salt and sand. Salt is water soluble, while sand is not. This means the two can be mixed in water and stirred. The salt will dissolve and the sand will not.

The magnetic separation is a process in which magnetically susceptible material is extracted from a mixture using magnetic force. This is best way to separate the mixture of sand and iron fillings as iron is attracted by magnet.

Hope this helps mate.

Answer 2

Answer:

With the help of magnet you can pull out all the iron from the sand.
