I have a mixture of sand salt and water from the sea. Describe in detail how I separate these three substances and explain why each method works

Sagot :

Answer:

You can separate a mixture of sand, salt and water by decantation and evaporation. Decantation will separate sand from salt and water. Sand remains in the original vessel, whereas salt and water is transfered to new vessel. Evaporation will separate salt from water.
