Question
Write a method to separate a mixture of sand and potash alum.
Solution
A mixture of sand and potash alum is separated by filtration followed by evaporation. The mixture contains two constituents, i.e., potash alum and sand.
Mix both the constituents thoroughly with water so that potash alum gets dissolved in water. However, sand, being insoluble in water, will not get dissolved in it. On filtering the liquid, the solid that is left behind will be the sand, and the liquid will be a solution of potash alum. Potash alum can now be re-crystallized by heating the solution gently. In the process, all the water gets evaporated leaving behind potash alum.

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.
