Which technique would be least effective for purifying a mixture of two solids, one of which sublimes at 50°C and the ot

Sublimation would separate the sublimable solid effectively. Crystallization, requiring a solvent, is less suitable as it’s designed for soluble impurities, not thermal properties.

A mixture of two solids, one subliming at 60°C and the other melting at 120°C, is best separated by which technique?

Sublimation separates the solid that sublimes at 60°C from the one that melts at 120°C, exploiting the phase change difference.
