Question

Devise a way to separate a mixture of sand, salt, and iron filings. Write the procedure using a step-by-step method and explain the reasoning behind each step. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME??????!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

1. Iron fillings are magnetic, so use a magnet to pull the iron fillings out of the mix.
2. Then you can put the salt and sand mixture into water, since salt is soluble, and the salt will dissolve, leaving you with sand.
