In order to remove all products and have them all split to see the separation i would make up a formal lab. i simply can not answer this on the dot but i can lead you in the right direction. fill your funnel with the salt, water, sand, poppy seeds. now in order to seperate it you use the filter paper to get any large sediments out. id use the hot plate last since you want pure water as your end product, and to get rid of salt (or contaminated water in general) you apply heat.
