What do you think?

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Help does not mean us giving you the answer.  Otherwise, you wouldn't learn anything.

I don't get it, I didn't ask for the answer I asked for help in figuring out how I could seperate the two, if I knew how I would not have asked for advice.  I already know how to seperate the sand and the salt but I do not know how to seperate the aluminum.  I thought this would be a simple and basic question guess not.

Please show us the difference between the solubility among them, and then show us the difference of chemical property, you can see the answer
