Which purification technique relies on the differential solubility of components in two immiscible liquids?

Differential extraction uses two immiscible solvents (e.g., water and ether) to separate compounds based on their solubility differences.

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.
