distillation to collect the sand and filtration to collect the salt

filtration to collect both the sand and the salt

Answer 1

The correct response is:

filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt.

In this process, filtration is used to separate the sand from the saltwater mixture. The sand cannot pass through the filter paper, while the dissolved salt remains in the liquid. After filtration, you can then use distillation to evaporate the water and collect the salt crystals as the water vapor condenses back into a liquid.
