Solution
The method of separating a mixture containing common salt, sand and ammonium chloride employs three processes, i.e., sublimation followed by filtration and evaporation. To separate ammonium chloride from the mixture, we should first follow sublimation. In the process, ammonium chloride gets sublimed and a mixture of sand and salt is left behind.
To separate salt from the mixture, we should put the mixture in water. Salt will get dissolved in water and the insoluble sand will be obtained by filtration.
Lastly, salt is separated by evaporating the filtrate, where all the water evaporates leaving behind solid salt.

Which of the following does not have a fixed melting point/boiling point ?
A, B and C are all liquids. Liquid A has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid A vaporises completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid A is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid B has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid B is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid C has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid C vaporises leaving behind a white solid D which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from C give a liquid E which turns anhydrous CuSO4 to blue.
