Question

In the process of sublimation to separate a mixture of common salt and ammonium chloride, common salt sublimes on heating whereas ammonium chloride does not.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Sublimation is the process in which a solid directly changes to a gas without passing through the liquid state.
• A substance is said to be sublime if it passes from the solid-state directly into the gaseous state without changing into a liquid.
• Substances such as ammonium chloride, camphor, and naphthalene undergo sublimation.

Therefore, In the process of sublimation to separate a mixture of common salt and ammonium chloride, ammonium chloride sublimes on heating whereas common salt does not.

Hence the statement is false.
