Question

With the help of an experiment ,how will you seprate naphthalene from a mixture of napthalene and sodium chloride

Answer 1

napthalene balls and sodium cloride both are sublime so they cannot be separated fro sublimation.....first we put the mixture in a dry ether.napthalene is a norganic matter so it will dissolve in ether but sodium chloride being inorganic will not dissolve....the solution is filtered by filter paper...now we get sodium chloride in the filter paper..then we keep the napthalene ball in the open..ether has low boiling point so it will evaporate immediately..mnow we get napthlene and sodium chloride separated
