Question
Describe a method to separate a mixture of camphor and sand.
Advertisements
Solution
Sublimation method is used to separate a mixture of camphor and sand. Camphor is a volatile solid and can be separated from any other non-volatile substance by heating. Sand is a non-volatile substance. When a mixture of sand and camphor is heated, sand will remain in the container but camphor will vaporise. These vapours are collected and condensed on a cold surface.

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.
