Question

Describe the various steps involved in the separation of iodine, iron filling and Salt from a mixture

Answer 1

Answer:

Use the magnet to remove the iron- Spread the iodine, salt and iron mixture on a flat surface. Wrap the magnet in the paper towel. Use the magnet to remove the iron by pulling it across the surface of the mixture. The filings stick to the magnet while the chalk and salt are left behind. Remove the paper towel from the magnet to collect the filings.

The mixture of iodine and salt is separated by the process of sublimation. When the mixture of iodine and salt is heated, then iodine sublimates and salt is left.
