Question

separating mixtures quick check
which property could allow a student to easily separate sand and iron filings? (1 point)
o magnetism
o boiling point
o solubility
o melting point

Explanation:

Iron filings are magnetic while sand is not. Using a magnet can attract the iron filings and separate them from the non - magnetic sand. Boiling point, solubility, and melting point are not relevant properties for this simple separation as they would require more complex processes (like heating to high temperatures for boiling/melting points or using solvents for solubility) which are not as straightforward as using magnetism for this particular mixture.

Answer:

magnetism
