Question

Mention the sequence of the methods you will follow to separate the components of camphor, sand and iron filings from the mixture.​

Answer 1

Answer:

sublimation, then magnetic separation

Explanation:

Camphor is a sublimable substance, and turns directly from solid to gas on heating. Thus by heating the mixture, we can separate out camphor. Then, as iron filling can be attracted by magnet, we can remove iron filling from sand by magnetic separation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Iron powder is separated by using magnet. Camphor powder is separated by sublimation. Water is added to the remaining mixture. Sand being insoluble in water, it can be separated by filtration.
