Question

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) distillation to collect both the sand and the salt distillation to collect the sand and filtration to collect the salt filtration to collect both the sand and the salt filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt

Explanation:

• Filtration is used to separate an insoluble solid (sand) from a liquid (salt - water solution). The sand, being insoluble, will be retained on the filter paper.
• Distillation is used to separate a soluble solid (salt) from the liquid (water). When the salt - water solution is distilled, the water evaporates and condenses (can be collected separately if needed), and the salt is left behind.

Answer:

filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt
