In an effort to part the remaining substances, distilled water was poured and stirred
on the evaporating dish containing the mixture. The mixture was filtered to a pre-
weighed beaker with the aid of a filter paper until only the sand was left. The sand

salt contained in the beaker was heated using the Bunsen burner until it had fully
evaporated. Meanwhile, the sand retained its form after being heated.
