One way to separate them is by using a magnet to attract the steel wool, leaving the salt and sand. Then, add water to the mixture to dissolve the salt, leaving the sand at the bottom. Filter the sand from the water-salt solution using a filter paper.
Copper is deposed on the steel wool.
Steel is not an element, but is a mixture we call an alloy. It is mostly iron with a bit of carbon in it; these are the primary ingredients. But it may also contain other elements to give it different characteristics. The carbon is in it at about one percent (ball park), while if we add something over about 11% chromium, we'll get stainless steel.
Thick steel wool will conduct electricity better than thin steel wool because it has more surface area for the current to flow through. The thicker material allows for more pathways for the electricity to travel, resulting in lower resistance and better conductivity.

Oh, dude, it's like this - you take the steel wool and just plop it into the copper sulfate solution. The steel wool reacts with the copper ions, forming a solid copper metal on the wool and leaving the solution without the Cu2+ ions. It's like magic, but with science!
Yes, steel wool is made of steel, which is primarily composed of iron. Steel wool is a bundle of very fine and flexible sharp-edged steel filaments, making it abrasive and effective for cleaning and polishing tasks.
When the impurities are in a low concentration steel can be considered a solid solution; otherwise is a mixture.
When copper sulfate and steel wool are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs where the iron in the steel wool displaces the copper in the copper sulfate solution. This results in the formation of iron sulfate solution and copper metal. The iron sulfate solution may appear greenish due to the copper impurities, while the copper metal will appear as a reddish-brown solid.
When steel wool is added to a copper sulfate solution, a displacement reaction occurs. The iron in the steel wool displaces the copper in the copper sulfate solution, forming iron sulfate and copper metal. The copper metal appears as a reddish-brown precipitate.
steel wool is steel made from wool, so it would be neither
the wool does not rust
Steel wool
Depends on whether you leave the steel wool in the Pepsi. If you take it out, the water in the Pepsi will cause the steel wool to rust away. If you leave it in, the phosphoric acid will slowly dissolve the steel wool.
Melting the steel wool is a physical change.
