Question: Name the process you would use to separate a mixture of                                 anthracene and copper sulphate ?

Answer: Sublimation

Answer 2

Sublimation

Explanation:

To separate a mixture of anthracene and copper sulphate, we can use the process of sublimation. Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state without passing through the intermediate liquid state. Anthracene is a sublimating substance.

So if we convent anthracene from solid to gaseous state, the gas will escape and leave the copper sulphate behind. Thus we can separate copper sulphate from anthracene or any other sublimating substance through the process of sublimation.
