No, we cannot use sublimation method for a mixture of Iodine and camphor.
-------------------------------------------------
Reason:
1.Sublimation is the process where a solid substance on heating converts directly into gas without turning into liquid state.
2.This method can used if one of the component is sublimate and other non sublimate.
3. But in this example , Iodine and Camphor both undergo sublimation.
4. Hence sublimation cannot be used.

Thank you for asking the question.
Let me help you in finding the answer.
As we know sublimation is the process in which solid directly converted into gas.
As the camphor and iodine are sublime compound. So upon heating or sublimation both goes to gaseous state. And then in gas form we can't identify which one of them is iodine or camphor.
They both produce white gas on heating.
Hope this will help you
