Detailed Solution

At first, the salt and sand containing water is left undisturbed for a few minutes. Then the mixture is decanted and filtered to separate the sand settled at the bottom. Then the decanted liquid, which contains salt dissolved in water, is separated by evaporation followed by condensation. Evaporated water is contained in a separated container and the salt is left behind in the heated beaker/container.
