The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
Name a suitabletechnique of separation of the components from a mixture of calcium sulphateand camphor.
The process ofsublimation is used to separate a mixture of camphor and calcium sulphate. Inthis process, the sublimable compound changes from solid to vapour statewithout passing through the liquid state. Camphor is a sublimable compound andcalcium sulphate is a non-sublimable solid. Hence, on heating, camphor willsublime while calcium sulphate will be left behind.
