How can we separate the components from a mixture of salt,sugar and cornstarch

Solution

1. Out of sugar, salt and corn-starch, corn-starch is very light in weight so it can be separated by sieving or winnowing.

2. Salt and sugar can be separated by dissolving sugar in alcohol, and salt does not dissolve in it, so the two are separated.
