Which of the following is a seperation technique to seperate potassium chloride and ammonium chloride?

chemistry separation of matter sedimentation, decantation and filtration other methods of separation separation methods

  1. Distillation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Condensation

  4. Sublimation

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride can be separated using the process of sublimation. You must also note that both these substances are sublimable. This technique is quite feasible in this case as the sublimable temperatures of ammonium and potassium chloride differ widely. Between the two, ammonium chloride has lower sublimable temperature. Therefore, it sublimes first followed by potassium chloride.
