A student wants to obtain clean, dry crystals of salt from a solid mixture of salt and sand.

They write the steps for this experiment but not in the correct order:

  1. Filter the mixture using a funnel and filter paper.
  2. Allow the hot, saturated solution to cool and form crystals.
  3. Add water to the mixture and stir until the salt dissolves.
  4. Heat the filtrate in an evaporating basin to obtain a saturated solution.
  5. Dry the obtained crystals using pieces of filter paper.
