Question
Naphthalene can be separated from sand :
Options
by sublimation
by distillation
by crystallisation
by using water as solvent
Advertisements
Solution
by sublimation
Naphthalene sublimes on heating, whereas sand does not. So, when the mixture is heated, solid naphthalene turns into vapours, which can be condensed. Sand remains in the container.
