How do you separate naphthalene from common salt?
Cyclohexane and naphthalene can be separated via distillation. If you know the boiling points of cyclohexane (about 81 degrees Celsius) and naphthalene (about 218 degrees Celsius), then you can distill the mixture of both compounds and let the cyclohexane boil off first and naphthalene will boil off last due to its high boiling point. This can be done using a distillation apparatus. And as a suggestion, using gas chromatography would be very helpful if you take samples of the distillation of certain periods of time. Gas chromatography shows what compounds are in a sample, the amounts of the compound per sample, and how long the compound took to boil out of the sample. As time progresses, the amount of cyclohexane should decrease and naphthalene should increase with each sample taking.
How is rock salt separated industrially?
Rock salt is mined as a solid in salt mines. it does not need to be separated.
Why does salt separated from a salt water solution look different than the salt that dissolves in the water?
The separated salt is a crystalline solid; the dissolved salt is dissociated in ions.
Why common salt cannot purified by sublimation?
vapour pressure of common salt is higher... hence it cannot be sublimed...
Who can salt be separated from water?
Salt can get separated from saltwater by putting it into a pot or in the sun and boiling it which will cause the water to evaporate and the salt will be left there.
How ammonium chloride is separated from common salt?
sublimation
With the help of an experiment how will you separate a naphthalene ball and a mixture of naphthalene and sodium chloride?
To separate naphthalene balls from sodium chloride, simply add water until all the sodium chloride is dissolved. Then either filter, or just pour off the solution, and the naphthalene balls will be left behind. Naphthalene is very insoluble in water, and sodium chloride is very soluble in water.
How do you separate salt from naphthalene?
by melting them through distillation

Why should you use sublimation to separate the mixture of salt and ammonium chloride?
Because ammonium chloride can be removed from salt by sublimation (at a given temperature).
How can you separate ammonium chloride from salt?
By sublimation
Why common salt cannot be purified by sublimation?
Because salt doesn't sublime !
How can you separate salt and camphor?
Camphor is a volatile solid i.e. its vapour pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure much below the melting point. But, common salt is non-volatile. Hence, camphor may be very easily separated from common salt by a physical process, SUBLIMATION! props to yahoo answers
