What technique is used to separate iron filings from a mixture of iron fillings and water?

D) using a compass. Sand is non-magnetic whereas iron fillings can be used as magnets. So, they can be separated by a method which uses a magnet for separating a mixture. Magnetic separation is the process which uses magnetic force for the extraction of magnetic material from a mixture.

Which method is used to separate iron filings and salt?

To separate a mixture of iron filings, chalk powder, and common salt by using a magnet followed by filtration and evaporation. A magnet is moved on a mixture of iron filings, chalk powder and common salt. In the process, iron filings are separated by the magnet.

What method is used to separate iron filings from a mixture of iron and sulfur?

You can separate the components of the mixture by stirring the powder with a magnet; the iron filings will stick to the magnet while the sulfur will not. Another (less messy) option is to swirl the powder with the magnet under the container; the iron will fall toward the magnet at the bottom.

What method is used to separate soil and water?
