Best Answer
  • Add sufficient water to dissolve the ammonium chloride. Neither the iodine nor the sand will dissolve.
  • Filter out the solids.
  • Evaporate the ammonium chloride from the solution.
  • Heat the solids gently in a retort to sublimate the iodine and recover it.

Separating a mixture of iodine ammonim chloride and barium chloride?

first add water to mixture the ammonium chloride and barium chloride dissolve in the water but the iodine does not. filter out the iodine using filtration then use fractional crystallization to separate the ammonium chloride and barium chloride and water


How do you separate iodine from ammonium chloride?

first you take water in a beaker and put the mixture in it.you will see that ammonium chloride will dissolve in water because it is highly soluble in water and iodine is not so it won't dissolve. However, the solubility of elemental iodine in water can be increased by the addition of potassium iodide.you can then filter out the mixture so the iodine when you filter will stay on the filter paper. you have got your iodine separated.now for ammonium chloride, you can do evaporation or distillation. To get back water you can do distillation and get distilled water.


How do you obtain iodine from a mixture of powdered iodine and ammonium chloride?

Iodine is not soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents; ammonium chloride is soluble in water. Method 1: dissolving of the mixture in water, filtering, washing of the filter, recovery of iodine from the filter Method 2: dissolving of the mixture in chloroform, filtering, recovery of iodine from the solution by air evaporation at room temperature

How do you separate iodine from sodium chloride?

Iodine is not contained in Sodium Chloride, so can not be removed from it. I am thinking you wish to separate a mixture of Iodine and Sodium Chloride. Heat the mixture to 114C and the iodine will melt. Iodine can be vaporized and distilled. Under certain conditions, Iodine can react with other chemicals to create unstable explosive compounds. So be careful out there.


What is NH4C?

There is no such thing as NH4Ci NH4Cl (with a lowercase L) is ammonium chloride


How do you separate a mixture of iodine solid and sodium chloride?

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.


How do you separate a mixture of potassium chloride and iodine give details?

Should be by sublimation. We make use of the fact that iodine sublimes(changes to solid to gas immediately) upon heating why potassium chloride does not :D


What is same between ammonium chloride and Idoine?

Nothing. One is a compound containing ammonium and chloride ions, and one is an element containing only iodine atoms.


How would you separate iodine crystals from mixture of iodine and sand?

we can separate them by sublimation as iodine sublimes on heating.


Does ammonium chloride sublime?

yes it does (sort of, see below) other substances which sublime include dry ice(solid carbon dioxide), iodine, and naphthalene(substance found in mothballs). In the case of ammonium chloride, however, hydrogen chloride is driven off by the heat to give a mixture of gaseous ammonia and hydrogen chlroide. Condensation of the volatile acid and base regenerates ammonium chloride, so the process is actually a pseudosublimation.


How will you separate iodine and salt mixture?

heat the mixture iodine will sublime collect the iodine vapour separately and cool
