Question
Which technique would be best for separating a mixture of a solid that sublimes (e.g., camphor) and a non-subliming solid?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Sublimation converts a solid directly to vapor without passing through the liquid phase. If one component sublimes and the other does not, they can be separated by sublimation (e.g., camphor and sand).

Solid to gas directly.
