A beaker contains a mixture of sand and salt. A student adds water to dissolve the salt. Which processes can be used to separate out the sand and salt?(1 point)
Responses
distillation to collect the sand and filtration to collect the salt
distillation to collect the sand and filtration to collect the salt
filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt
filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt
distillation to collect both the sand and the salt
distillation to collect both the sand and the salt
filtration to collect both the sand and the salt
filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt would be the correct answer.
The correct answer is: "filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt."
To separate the sand and salt mixture, you can first use filtration. Filtration is a process that separates solid particles from a liquid or gas by passing it through a filter. In this case, the sand particles are relatively larger than the salt particles, so when the mixture is poured through a filter, the sand will be trapped while the salt and water will pass through.
After separating the sand, you can then use distillation to collect the salt. Distillation is a process of separating mixtures based on differences in boiling points. By heating the saltwater solution, the water will evaporate and then condense into a separate container, leaving behind the salt.
So, by using filtration and distillation, you can separate the sand and salt from the mixture.
The correct answer is:
filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt.
