Answer 1

The correct processes to separate out the sand and salt from the mixture after dissolving the salt in water are:

1. **Filtration** to collect the sand. The sand will remain on the filter paper, while the salt solution will pass through.
2. **Distillation** to collect the salt. The salt can be recovered by evaporating the water from the salt solution.

So the appropriate response is: **filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt.**
