how to separate the mixture of common salt,camphor and iron filings?describe the process
1. Magnetic Separation:
Using a bar magnet the iron fillings must be separated from the mixture.
Now we are left with camphor and common salt.
2. Sublimation:
Place the mixture in a china dish on a tripod stand and place an inverted funnel on top of it. Cover the mouth of the funnel using a cotton plug.
Heat the mixture. Camphor sublimes due to the heat and cools and becomes a solid on the underside of the funnel.
Common salt is left on the china dish.
Hope this helps...plzzz thumbs up!!! :)
