Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

You are partially correct! A mixture of sugar and water can be separated by boiling the mixture and evaporating the mixture. Boiling the mixture causes the water to turn into steam, leaving the sugar behind. Evaporating the mixture involves heating the mixture slowly, allowing the water to evaporate, and leaving the sugar behind. However, using a magnet and a filter are not applicable methods for separating a mixture of sugar and water. Magnets are primarily used to separate magnetic substances from non-magnetic substances, while a filter is primarily used to separate solid particles from a liquid or gas.
