Question

During science class, while studying mixtures, you mix together table salt and sand. Your teacher challenges you to separate the salt from the sand. What property could you use and how would you use it?

Answer 1

I don't know what the property is called, but you could add water to the mixture which would dissolve the salt and then use a coffee filter to drain the water from the sand. Then, if available, use an oven to evaporate the water and you are left with the salt.
