what do you call the process of separating the sand from the water
Answer (2)
filtering is used to separate sand and water. The mixture of sand and water is poured into the filter funnel, which is lined with filter paper. The water can pass through the paper to collect in the beaker. The sand particles cannot pass through the filter paper and collect in the filter funnel.
Here's how it works: 1. Allow the mixture to settle: Since sand is denser than water, it will sink to the bottom of the container if the mixture is left undisturbed for a while.2. Carefully pour off the water: Once the sand has settled, you can carefully pour the water off the top, leaving the sand behind. This method is a simple and effective way to separate mixtures where one component is a solid that settles out of a liquid.
