Answer 1

Sand and salt are poured into a single beaker. the result is a mixture because they are not chemically combined. When water is added to the sand-salt mixture, salt dissolves in water, and sand does not. When the liquid is poured through a filter, salt water passes through the filter. The remaining salt water is heated until water is boiled off (evaporated) leaving salt behind.
