Question : 27 of 40
Marks: +1, -0
Name a suitable technique of separation of the components from a mixture of calcium sulphate and camphor.
Solution:  
Camphor is sublimable compound while CaSO4CaSO_4 being ionic is not. Therefore, the two can be separated by the method of sublimation. If a mixture of the two is heated in a China dish covered with a porous paper and an inverted funnel over it, we will find the crystals of camphor forming on the inside walls of the inverted funnel. Thus, pure CaSO4CaSO_4 will be left in the China dish.
