Question:

Give an example each for the mixture having the following characteristics. Suggest a suitable method to separate the components of these mixtures

1. A volatile and a non-volatile component.

2. Two volatile components with appreciable difference in boiling points.

3. Two immiscible liquids.

4. One of the components changes directly from solid to gaseous state.

5. Two or more coloured constituents soluble in same solvent.

Solution:

1. A mixture of naphthalene (volatile) and common salt (non-volatile). The separation can be done by

sublimation.

2. A mixture of acetone (boiling point $=56^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) and water (boiling point $=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) separation can be done

by distillation.

3. A mixture of kerosene oil and water. Separation can be done in a separating funnel.

4. Same as in (a).

5. A mixture of blue/black ink. Separation can be done by chromatography.
