How can you seperate a mixture of salt and chloride ammonium. Explain with diagram
Answers
Answer:
Ammonium chloride changes directly from solid to gaseous on heating . So to separate mixtures containing a sublimable volatile component from a non-sublimable impurity i.e., sodium chloride, the sublimation process is used.
• Place the china dish over a wire gauze placed over a tripod stand.
• Cover the china dish with an inverted glass funnel and plug in a little cotton at the opening stem.
• On heating the mixture, white fumes evolve.
• Stop heating when the fumes stop rising and allow the funnel to cool.
• On cooling, remove the funnel and transfer the solid ammonium chloride sticking on the walls of funnel to a watch glass
