How do you separate ammonium nitrate and water?

Answer 1

you can separate it by looking at its boiling points for example: waters boiling point is about 100'C and ammonium nitrate is a solid so it has eather no boiling point, or a very high one, so an effective way of separating is to boil the mixture, you can use a distiller if you want the water too, but a pan is just fine. another way is to just let it sit and the mixture may settle at the bottem then just collect the water and let the slurry of ammonium nitrate dry, and then grind it back into a powder. *your welcome*

Answer 2

Ammonium nitrate and water can be separated through a process called fractional crystallization. By gradually cooling the solution, the ammonium nitrate crystals will start to form and can be filtered out. The leftover water can then be evaporated to obtain pure ammonium nitrate crystals.

Answer 3

Boil away the water. Copper nitrate gets left behind.
