The method that can be used to separate the mixture is chromatography.
<h3>
What is chromatography?</h3>
"Chromatography" is obtained form a Greek word which literarily means, color writing. It is a method of separation which is common in separating a mixture of pigments.
To obtain the colors used, two solvents are mixed and the sample ink is dissolved in the solvents then spotted on a thin layer and put into a TLC chamber then the chromatogram is allowed to develop.
The various components of the pigment will appear on the chromatogram and can be identified using spectrophotometry. The Rf values of each component can also be used to identify it.'

Alkaline earth metal are the elements present in II group in the periodic table and are known as 'Metals' and have a charge of +2.
Alkaline earth metals - Be , Mg Ca, Sr , Ba, Ra
Halogens are present in VII A group in the periodic table and are 'Non-metals' and have a charge of -1.
Halogens - F, Cl, Br, I, At
When Alkaline earth metal (metals) combine with Halogens (non-metals) the compound formed will be ionic compound and the formula of the compound will be based on the charges of the element.
When we write the formula of the ionic compound the charges of the elements get criss crossed.
For example - Mg (Alkaline earth metal) have a charge of +2 and Cl (Halogen) have a charge of -1 and when they combine to form the formula their charges get criss crossed and we will get
or 
When an alkaline earth metal, A, reacts with a halogen, X, the formula of the Ionic compound formed should be
