Sand and water

Salt and water


How can we separate each?

Describe how you would separate the sand from the water. Then describe how you would separate the
salt from the water

Now you can carry out the practical

Unit 6D: Separating Rock Salt
Separating Rock Salt – Extension

Rock salt is a mixture of small rocks and salt, it is often used on roads when it is icy to provide grip and
to melt the ice.

Using your knowledge of dissolving, filtering and evaporating separate a sample of rock salt so you are
left with a pile of rock and a pile of salt.

You will find the following apparatus useful: Funnel, filter paper, beakers, Bunsen burner or water
heater.

Salt dissolves in water

Dissolved substances will pass through filter paper

Dissolved solids are left behind when water evaporate
