A beaker contains a mixture of sand and salt a student adds water to dissolve the salt which process can be used to separate the sand and the salt

The process that can be used to separate the sand and the salt in this scenario is called filtration.

Filtration involves pouring the mixture through a filter, such as filter paper or a cloth, which allows the liquid (water with dissolved salt) to pass through while retaining the solid particles (sand). The sand will remain on the filter, while the salt will be present in the filtered liquid. The liquid can then be collected, and the salt can be recovered by evaporating the water.
