how will u separate common salt ,sulphur powder n sand from their mixture

Hi Jigisha,

The mixture contains sulphur, common salt(sodium chloride) and sand. They can be separated as follows:

  1. Add water to the mixture. Salt will dissolve in water. Filter the solution.
  2. Filterate is solution of Salt and residue contains sulphur and sand.
  3. Evaporate the filterate, water will vapourize leaving behind salt.
  4. To the residue containing sulphur and sand add carbon disulphide, this will dissolve sulphur.
  5. Filter this solution.
  6. The filterate will contain sulphur dissolved in carbon disulphide and residue will be sand.
  7. Evaporate the filterate, to obtain crystals of Sulphur.

If this helps thumbs up please :p

Step 1. Dissolve the mixture in water. This will dissolve the sodium chloride. Step 2: Run the mixture through a filter. The saltwater (aqueous sodium chloride) will pass through the filter. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to ensure that you get all the salt leached out. Save both your filter with the crud on it as well as the saltwater that passed through the filter. Step 3: Pour the saltwater into an evaporating dish and evaporate the water off of it. You can speed this process with heat from a hotplate or an oven. Step 4: Take your filter paper that has the sand/sulfur mixture and dump it into a beaker. Step 5: Heat this beaker on a hotplate. The sulfur will melt at around 113 degrees C which is not much greater than boiling water. Step 6: Once the sulfur is liquified, hotfilter the mixture to recover the sand in the filter paper and the sulfur in a beaker. Now you have all things separated!
