Question given :

method? Give reason for your answer
Required answer :
No a mixture of iodine and camphor can't be separated by the sublimation method
Reasons for this statement are as follows :
- Sublimation is the process in which a substance changes into gaseous state without changing into liquid state
- It is used in case one of the substance is sublime and one is non sublime
- In this case both iodine and camphor are sublime
- When we will heat them they will change into gaseous state
- They both will produce white gas on heating
- After they turn into gas it will be difficult for us to identify which one is camphor and which is iodine
- So sublimation can't be used
