    Yes, by using a filter that can filter out very tiny (microscopic) pieces.

    Yes,a solution of salt and water can be separated. You can separate it by putting the solution in a evaporating
    dish, and wait a few days for the water to evaporate.

    (YES) I think the salt can be separated. If the water dissolves the salt might still be there.

    no,because if you put salt in water
    you have to stir it in order for it
    to be a mixture and when you stir it it will dissolve.

    Yes,salt and water can be separated
    because salt is to heavy to evaporate
    with the water.

    You can separate the salt from the water by taking the container and make sure the salt doesn't come out.

    no because it does not have enough time to evaporate the water because

    No a solution of salt and water can't be separated because,when you put salt in water and wait 5 or 10 minutes the salt will evaporate and even if you try to separate it the salt will still stay in the water.

    Salt solution can be separated by the process of evaporation.Filtration cannot be used because,if you will try it there is no salt residue.While if you try to evaporate the water,some crystal drops will remain and it will solidify as salt.This is the same in getting salt in sea water.

    You can separate salt and water by using a ring stand, ring, evaporating dish, and a Tirrill burner. Which causes evaporation. The water changes to gas and the salt crystals are left behind. Obviously, you can separate it since it's a physical change, not a chemical change. And you cannot filter salt and water with a filter paper.

    I think that the salt can be separated from the water, I am just not exactly sure how. Colors can be easily separated by using chromatography paper and there may be a similar way for salt from water, or even sugar from water, but it would be hard once the salt dissolved.

    yes it can be separate by using evaporation. the water will evaporate leaving the salt behind

  65. YES YOU CAN SEPARATE SALT FROM WATER. THERE ARE TWO DIFERENT WAYS, REVERSE OSMOSIS AND DISTILATION. GOOGLE SHOULD HELP YOU WITH EXPLANATIONS OF BOTH.

  67. we did this at school, have a bunsen burner with a tripod ontop and a pot ontop of that which has your salt water in and then have an umbrella shaped object and a bowl under neath the tripod so when the water evaporates it hits the umbrella and the water will run down the umbrella and go into the bowl and when it has all evaporates the salt will be left as a solid in the pot!

    You can actually separate them very easily by turning the salt into a crystals by mixing water with salt. You have to pour the mixture into a pan and then turn on the stove to medium so that the solution does not heat up to quickly. Then you have to wait until all of the water has evaporated. It could take from 30mins to 1hour. I don't suggest doing this with sugar because it is very hard to clean up afterwards.
    Hope this helped :)

    I find it funny how people not from his class are posting. Like me!
    Salt can be removed from salt water either by evaporating the water (the salt is left over), or by conducting reverse osmosis.
