Camphor is a molecular compound, with a molecular formula C10H16O. Because it is molecular and the solid is "held together" by inter-molecular forces it has a lower melting point 175 C and boling point 204C than sodium chloride mp 800+C. bp 1400+ C. Under gentle heating solid camphor has a a reasonable vapor pressure and sublimes (no melting or boiling required -as it is flammable care is needed.) Sodium chloride a giant ionic lattice held together by strong electrostatic bonds when under heated gently has virtually no vapor pressure and does not sublime.

How separate the sand and camphor by sublimation process?
Sublimation of camphor occur faster by heating and sand remain.
What do you meant by sublimation also give example?
Sublimation is the process of direct transformation of a solid in a gas: examples are iodine, naphthalene, dry ice, camphor.
What are 2 solid substances that don't go through a liquid state when heated and go straight to gas?
Naphthalene and camphor the process is sublimation
Which substance changes from gaseous state to solid?
Those substances which undergo the process of sublimation change directly from solid to gas or from gas to solid. Example:- Ammonium chloride, Camphor
What does camphor change into while heating?
It depends on how you heat it. If it's combined with other plants and chemicals and is heated through the temperature of a flame, then it can effect the brain when inhaled. It, in simple terms, has the potential to get one high. But if you mean burning the actual substance itself and applying it to the skin, then it will be as harmful as a chemical burn. There's different parts to the camphor plant. If you heat certain parts, they create the smell of the camphor plant, which is used in some aroma therapies practices. And there are different types of camphor plants. Do your research a bit to receive a more specific answer.
Sublimation process of sodium chloride and camphor?
sublimation of camphor
How separate the sand and camphor by sublimation process?

How do you separate camphor from chalk powder?
by the process of SUBLIMATION.....
What process you would use to separate camphor crystals and sand?
Sublimation
The process of separation f mixture of camphor and sodium chloride?
by sublimation
What do you meant by sublimation also give example?
Sublimation is the process of direct transformation of a solid in a gas: examples are iodine, naphthalene, dry ice, camphor.
When is purification by sublimation applicable?
purification by sublimation is applicable when the solid has a relatively high vapor pressure at temperature below its melting point. it is also applicable when the purity has a lower vapor pressure than the purified, and when a small quantity of the solid is used. this process can also be used when compounds display characteristic property of condensing the solid state without passing through the liquid state.
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

sublimation
Is sublimation an element or an atom?
Neither. Sublimation is a process.
