A element mixture (key word: mixture) due to the mixture containing 2 different types of elements it can be said that it’s highly likely that the mixture was not a compound but instead of a mixture due to mixture meaning more than 1 material. Hopes this help!
The physical method that can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a small beaker of salt and water would be evaporation.
<h3>Separation of salt and water</h3>
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.
