Question
How will you separate a mixture of sodium chloride and sand?
✓

Answer

Sodium chloride is soluble in water whereas sand is insoluble in water. The difference in their solubility is used to separate them. The mixture of sand and sodium chloride is dissolved in water, then it is filtered with the help of filter paper and remains as residue on the filter paper while sodium chloride solution is obtained as filtrate .The filtrate is then evaporated to get crystals of sodium chloride.
