Separating Mixtures Part 1
The task was to separate salt and sand from the mixture.
Experiment
Place the mixture into a beaker. Add 10ml of water or more if it is needed until no salt is left. Stir the mixture. Place the filter paper into the filter funnel and put an evaporating dish below it. Pour the mixture into the filter funnel. Then heat the evaporating dish over a beaker of water being boiled over the bunsen burner. Make sure the salt solution boils is evaporated to dryness.
We used Filtration and Evaporation to dryness to separate the mixture of salt and sand into just salt and sand by themselves.
