Question

A beaker contains a mixture of sand and salt. A student adds water to dissolve the salt. Which processes can be used to separate out the sand and salt?(1 point) Responses filtration to collect both the sand and the salt filtration to collect both the sand and the salt filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt filtration to collect the sand and distillation to collect the salt distillation to collect the sand and filtration to collect the salt distillation to collect the sand and filtration to collect the salt distillation to collect both the sand and the salt

Answer 1

The correct processes to separate out the sand and salt after adding water to dissolve the salt would be:

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

Here's the reasoning:

1. Filtration is used to separate the solid sand from the liquid saltwater mixture. The sand will remain on the filter paper, while the saltwater passes through.
2. Distillation can then be used to separate the salt from the saltwater by evaporating the water and recovering the salt once the water is removed.

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