Iodine can be separated from a mixture of Iodine and Potassium Chloride by ?

  • A.Filtration
  • B.Distillation
  • C.Sublimation
  • D.Sedimentation

Answer: C

The two are separated by sublimation.

Iodine passes straight from solid to violet vapour on warming and recondenses as crystals on a cold surface, while potassium chloride, being non-volatile, stays behind. Filtration and sedimentation need one component to be insoluble in a liquid, and neither substance is a liquid to distil.
