Q.

Iodine can be separated from a mixture of Iodine and Potassium Chloride by –

A. sedimentation
B. filtration
C. sublimation
D. distillation
Answer» C. sublimation
Explanation: Iodine is well known to sublime (change from solid to gas without becoming liquid in between) when heated. However sodium chloride has a melting point much higher than that of iodine. Therefore, a mixture of iodine and sodium chloride can be separated by using a sublimation apparatus, with solid iodine collected by condensation on a cold surface.
