Atomic mass iron ( Fe ) = 55.84 a.m.u
55.84 g ------------ 6.02x10²³ atoms
24.0 g ------------- ??
24.0 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 55.84
=> 2.58x10²³ atoms
You can boil or evaporate the water and the salt will be left behind as a solid. If you want to collect the water, you can use distillation. This works because salt has a much higher boiling point than water. One way to separate salt and water at home is to boil the salt water in a pot with a lid. So, I would say maybe oil.
