Which technique is most suitable for separating a mixture of two solids, one of which is soluble in ethanol and the othe

Crystallization uses differential solubility (e.g., ethanol) to dissolve one solid and recrystallize it, leaving the insoluble one behind, ideal when melting points are irrelevant.

Which purification method is least suitable for separating a mixture of two solids with identical melting points but dif

Crystallization relies on melting point or solubility differences, ineffective here. Chromatography exploits Rf differences, making it suitable.

Which purification method is most effective for separating a mixture of two solids with identical solubility in water bu

Sublimation separates based on sublimation temperature differences, effective when solubility is identical but one solid sublimes and the other does not.
