  1. Iodine can be separated from a mixture of Iodine and Potassium Chloride by
    1. sedimentation
    2. filtration
    3. sublimation
    4. distillation
Correct Option: C

Iodine is well known to sublime (change from solid to gas without becoming liquid inbetween) when heated. However sodium chloride has a melting point much higher than that of iodine. Therefore, a mixture of iodine and sodium chloride can be separated by using a sublimation apparatus, with solid iodine collected by condensation on a cold surface.
