How do you get pure sand from a mixture of sand & sugar?
Answers:
taste and spit, taste and spit, etc.
Tweezers.
sugar disolves in water .. so let it sit. drain. and repeat.. that or use another solvent in the sand.
add water
Pour in hot water. the sugar will disolve and the sand will remain in the bottom.
Boil them together in water, stirring well, then strain off the liquid.
Put it in a beaker of water, heat and stir. The sugar will dissolve and the sand will not. Filter out the sand and dry and voila you have pure sand!
I think you would immerse it in water so that the sugar dissolves.that way you can separate the sand, which remains intact.
straining the sand from the sugar. you need a strainer that has perforations that are inbetween the sizes of the grains of sand and salt and then you can just shake it out.
Pour very hot water over the mixture, the sugar will disolve and drain away leaving only the sand
Add water and filter through paper?
Mix with water, dissolve the sugar and remove the sand
add hot water to the mix then drain.
dissolve the mixture in water so the sugar dissipates?
Dump it in water, sugar will disolve, drain water
dissolve the sugar in water and then strain sand out.
Add water, boil a while, let a string hang in the liquid, the sugar will "climb" the thread building crystals, leaving the sand behind.
Tweezer? lol!
Definately use water and if you want it to happen faster use hot water.
Or you could try blowing the sand softly and the sugar a bit harder..lol
(without pulling any faces!) ;)
Pour the Mixture into a Bucket.. Fill it with Boiling water.. Filter (not to fine).. Sand will come out.. Sugar will disolve,.

add boiling water.. the sugar will disolve.. put through a tight metal mesh that will allow the water to drain through and not the sand.then dry out
lol@ calculator's answer, but maybe he's better off playing on a calculator or answering a maths questioN?
well, i thought hard for a few seconds and what i would do is to put the mixture into a bowl, pour hot water, stir, then sift, cause the sugar will dissolve when it comes into contact with hot water honey.
Use ur tongue u will separate them. But if u cant then use ur norse if it is sensitive it will help u.
Put it all in a pan of hot water! the sugar will dissolve, the sand will remain.
sugar is crystallized glucose, sucrose, etc., sand is silicon (glass), and sedimentary debris. One dissolves in water, the other does not (hence sand being on the bottom of the ocean).
So, using a coffee filter, take a mixture of water, sand, and sugar, and run through the filter while also continually adding new, hot water into the mixture. Eventually, you will be left with just sand.
Add ants.
If this isnt a trick question, I would say that water would need to be involved here. If you mix the sand and sugar, and stir it up like you would do with koolaid, the sugar molecules will hide in the water molecules. Next, the water would have to evaporate, leaving you with just the sand, or maybe the sugar would still be there too if the water evaporates. Dont know if sugar works the same way as salt does or not. good question.
Add hot water
I have scanned the former answers and they left out a step.
Add hot water and stir till the sugar dissolves'
Decant(pour) off the sugar water leaving sand.
Evaporate the water and the sugar is left.
pour hot water over it and strain it the sugar should disolve
pour water over the mixture. heat at a moderate temperature. this dissolvesa the sugar in the water. filter it using watmann 1 flutted filter paper and a normal filter into a clean, dry conical flask. leave for a week to throughly dry and there is your pure sand. prefably leave dry in a incubator.
add water. it will dissolve the sugar.
then you have the sand alone on the bottom of the container
drain off water & sugar solution.
