Question

What method can be used to separate a mixture of sugar and salt?

Answer 1

Traditionally, salt is removed from sugar containing solutions by passing the syrup through columns packed with ion-exchange resin beads. The beads bind the Na and Cl ions and the effluent passing through will be the sugar water solution. If you wasn to recover the Na or the Cl ions then the beeds are rinsed with either a strong acid or base and quantitave recoveries can be made.

Answer 2

cool the mixture down until the sugar recrystalises on the sides of the container then filter

Answer 3

try to find a solvent that can dissolve either sugar or salt. sugar is organic and salt is inorganic if it will follow the 'likes dissolves like theory' then you can find a specific solvent. water is a universal solvent so it cannot be used. do some experiment, if you choose crystallization process, you just consider the difference of their respective solubility for a given solvent.

Answer 4

add the substance which can bind to the NaCl (salt) and which can precipitate the NaCl not the sugar. So, after doing that you will get the salt in ppt condition and sugar in dissolve state.

Answer 5

Put them into a tube and make sure everything is dissolved. Centrifuge-medium speed for about 5-15 minutes. It should work, but I'm not sure.
