I can suggest how to combine separation techniques in order to separate pure salt from a sample of rock salt.

Show transcript
The properties of the substances in a mixture help to determine the technique best suited to separate them. When mixtures contain more than two components, multiple techniques may be needed to separate them. Creating a solution of an existing mixture can allow a specific technique to be used for separation. Separating salt from rock salt requires: making a solution, filtration, and crystallisation.
