MCQ
Naphthalene can be separated for sand:
  • ✓
    By sublimation.
  • B
    By distillation.
  • C
    By crystallisation.
  • D
    By using water as solvent.
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
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.
