Solution
The correct option is C Dissolution and evaporation
The mixture of camphor and ammonium chloride cannot be
separated by sublimation method since both are volatile substances. Thus the
mixture is dissolved in water. Ammonium chloride is soluble in water while
camphor is not thus the water containing ammonium chloride is decanted in
another beaker. Thus camphor is obtained and now the solution is evaporated to
separate ammonium chloride. The solution containing ammonium chloride is heated
and boiled off the ammonium chloride is left behind
