How would you separate alum camphor and sugar?
To separate alum, camphor, and sugar, you can use the following procedure: Dissolve the mixture in water: Add the mixture of alum, camphor, and sugar to a beaker containing some water. Stir the mixture until all the components have dissolved. Add ethanol: Add ethanol to the beaker and stir well. Alum will precipitate out of the solution due to its low solubility in ethanol. Filtration: Use a filter paper to separate the precipitated alum from the solution. This will give you a residue of alum and a filtrate containing camphor and sugar. Evaporation: Pour the filtrate into a clean beaker and heat it on a hot plate or evaporate it to dryness to evaporate the ethanol. This will leave behind a residue of camphor and sugar. Separation of camphor and sugar: Add water to the residue to dissolve the sugar and leave the camphor as a residue. Filter the mixture to obtain the sugar solution and the camphor residue. Recovery of camphor: To recover the camphor from the residue, you can use sublimation. Place the camphor residue in a clean and dry evaporating dish and heat it gently. The camphor will sublime and condense on a cool surface, such as a watch glass, which can be scraped to collect the pure camphor. This process will separate alum, camphor, and sugar from each other.

What happens when camphor crystals are put in water?
When camphor hits water, it will begin to spin around in circular motions. This is because the camphor has rough edges, and the water is pushing on it on all sides. When you place the tip of your finger on the surface of the water though, the oil on your finger spreads across the water (pushing the camphor away from your finger)and gets under the camphor to stop it from spinning (the oil blocks the contact of the water and camphor). Once removed, the camphor will start to spin again. After a time has passed, the camphor will stop spinning all together and most will dissolve into the water itself.
