Practice question
Question
Which technique would be least effective for purifying a mixture of two solids, one of which sublimes at 50°C and the other decomposes at 200°C?
Explanation
Sublimation would separate the sublimable solid effectively. Crystallization, requiring a solvent, is less suitable as it’s designed for soluble impurities, not thermal properties.
