Solution

The correct option is C

Mix the sample in acetone and evaporate the decanted solution.


Ammonium Chloride is a substance which directly converts to its vapour upon heating, without forming a liquid state. This process is called sublimation. The vapours can be collected and condensed into a separate flask. On the other hand,NaCl does not get evaporated on heating and can be separated easily.
