Naphthalene is a sublimate. A sublimate is a substance which changes directly from the solid state to the gaseous state and vice-versa. So, by utilising this property, we can separate the mixture of sodium chloride and naphthalene by heating it. The naphthalene will sublimate and we'll be left with sodium chloride.

Hello friend!
We can separate the mixture of sodium chloride and naphthalene by the process of sublimation.
Naphthalene is a sublimate i.e it directly changes from solid state to gaseous state by heating without changing into liquid form.
When you take the mixture of sodium chloride and naphthalene and heat it by placing an inverted funnel on the mixture, naphalene changes into vapours and gets collected on the funnel while the sodium chloride remains the same.
Hope it helps!!
