Answer 1

To separate the mixture of sand and salt after dissolving the salt in water, the correct processes would be:

1. Filtration to collect the sand. This process uses a filter to separate the solid sand from the liquid solution containing the dissolved salt.
2. Distillation to collect the salt. This process involves heating the solution to evaporate the water, leaving the salt behind, and then condensing the vapor back into liquid water, which can be collected separately.

Therefore, the correct response is: filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt.
