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.
