Question:

You are provided with a mixture containing sand, iron filings, ammonium chloride and sodium chloride. Describe the procedure you would use to separate these constituents from the mixture?

 

Solution:

Separate the constituents from a mixture containing ammonium chloride, sand and iron-filings.

Place the mixture on a paper or petridish. Move a magnet over it. Iron filings get attached to the magnet. Scrap off iron filings from the magnet and collect them separately. Transfer the remaining mixture to a china dish and subject it to the sublimation process. Ammonium chloride forms the sublimate while sand is left as residue in the dish.
