Iodine can be separated from a mixture of Iodine and Potassium Chloride by?
A
Filtration
B
Distillation
C
Sublimation
D
Sedimentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, a mixture of iodine and potassium chloride can be separated by using a sublimation apparatus, with solid iodine collected on condensation of its vapour on a cold surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -This process of changing from a solid state to a gaseous state is called sublimation. Thus, when immersed at room temperature, iodine will sublime and turn to vapor escaping the mixture and leaving potassium chloride in the original container. This will allow the separation of the two substances.

Detailed explanation-3: -Expert-Verified Answer This property of a solid changing directly into gaseous phase is known as sublimation. Thus, iodine can be separated from a mixture of Iodine and Potassium Chloride by sublimation.

Detailed explanation-4: -This process is called sublimation. On cooling, the vapour changes back to solid directly. Iodine is a solid that sublimes. When a mixture of iodine and sand is heated in a beaker, the iodine changes from solid to vapour directly.

Detailed explanation-5: -So this method we can use the sublimation method for separating iodine crystals from potassium. Chloride. That is one we can use sublimation better.
