Question

5 Daniel has dropped two glass jars containing sugar

and salt as he tried to get them down from the
kitchen cupboard. He now has a mixture of glass,
sugar and salt. Describe in detail how he could
separate the three substances. Sugar and salt are
both soluble in water, but only sugar is soluble in
ethanol (remember that ethanol is flammable and
should not be heated directly).​

Answer 1

He could separate the mixture through filtration and fractional crystallization. Ethanol can also be added in order to remove salt.
