Which method would be effective for separating salt and water in a mixture?

a.
evaporation

b.
using a magnet

c.
observing color differences

d.
chromatography

A seperation method that would be most successful woth the separation of a salt and water mixture would be evaporation for these reasons, (1) There are no magnetic elements involved with salt nor with water, (2) Observing colour differences would not have much affect on separating the two, and (3) Chromatography is used to separate two liquids, such as speparating two dyes, not salt and water.

Evaporation:
The water will evaporate, leaving you with salt as a solid.

Ibelieve y y even though i've only taken chemistry for one year

The question is incomplete. complete question is attached belowanswer: correct answer is option b  i.e.  solid particles  reason: filter paper has small pores, through which smaller particles can pass through. however, solid particles  have relatively larger size. hence, they are least likely to pass through.
