Name a suitable technique of separation of the components from a mixture of calcium sulphate and camphor.
Solution:  
Camphor is sublimable compound while CaSO4 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 CaSO4 will be left in the China dish.
