Answer 1

The physical method that can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a small beaker of salt and water would be evaporation.

Separation of salt and water

A mixture of salt and water can be separated by a method known as evaporation. This is based on the assumption that the salt in question is a water-soluble salt.

In order to separate the salt/water mixture:

• Place the mixture in a suitable evaporating dish
• Boil the mixture until all the water evaporates.
• The remaining residue would be the salt

Care should be taken not to overheat the residue in order to avoid melting. Evaporation is generally used to separate a mixture of water and soluble salt. If the salt is insoluble, filtration using a suitable filter paper will filter off the salt while the water is collected as the filtrate.
