Question

Ammonium chloride$\left({\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}\right)$ is separated from a mixture of Ammonium Chloride and sand by the process of _____________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Separation of mixtures:

• The process of separation of different constituents of a mixture using physical methods is known as the separation of mixtures.

The separation of the mixture of Ammonium chloride$\left({\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}\right)$ and sand:

Sublimation:

• The process of separating the mixture of Ammonium chloride and sand is sublimation.
• In this process a sublimate substance changes its state from solid to gas directly without passing through a liquid state on heating.
• In this mixture of Ammonium chloride and sand, Ammonium chloride is a sublimate so it gets changed into vapor and can be separated in another container.
• Sand will be left behind in the container.
• After cooling the vapor of Ammonium chloride, we get it in its original solid state.
• Sand will be left behind in the container.

Conclusion:
Therefore, Ammonium chloride$\left({\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}\right)$ is separated from a mixture of Ammonium Chloride and sand by the process of Sublimation.
