Question #91714
2. You spill some sugar in a sandbox. You scoop it up as best you can, but now you have a mixture of sand and sugar. How could you separate the two?
Expert's answer
Pour the mixture into hot water.
Stir water. The sugar will dissolve readily but sand will not. Pour through a fine mesh such as a sieve into another container. The sand will be at the sieve and the sugar solution will be as a liquid in the bottom container. Evaporate the water from sugar solution until sugar is left behind only.
