Which of the following sets of operation will completely separate a mixture of sodium chloride, sand and iodine?

A

addition of water, filtration, evaporation to dryness and sublimation

B

filtration, evaporation to dryness, addition of water and sublimation

C

sublimation, filtration, evaporation and addition of water

D

sublimation, addition of water, filtration and evaporation to dryness

correct option: a

The Process involves:

  • Add water to the mixture and filter it. This will result in a salt solution as the filtrate; a mixture of iodine and sand as the residue.
  • Evaporate the filtrate to dryness to get sodium chloride (salt).
  • Heat the residue to sublime the iodine from the sand.

That is,

Addition of water \(\to\) Filtration \(\to\) Evaporation \(\to\) Sublimation.
