Best Answer

If your talking about separating a mixture of Iodine and salt (Sodium Chloride) then to separate them the easiest way would be to mix the mixture in water which will cause the sodium chloride to dissolve (along with a very small amount of iodine), then you just pour off the water and viola, your iodine is left at the bottom. Repeat this process again to make sure you get rid of all the sodium chloride

Note: ~37.5 grams of sodium chloride will dissolve in 100mL of water at room temperature ~21 degrees Celsius. So you may need to repeat the process depending on how much salt is mixed with the iodine.


Note: the iodine may form a suspension in the water, if this is the case allow it to sit for a while to form the sediment at the bottom, if it doesn't you can use filter paper when you pour out the water.

The easiest way is to warm gently. Iodine sublimes and crystals will condense on a cold object leaving behind sugar.

How do you separate iodine crystals from table salt?

iodine crystals are black, table salt crystals are white.however I doubt that was your question. I think you are referring to iodized table salt. there are no iodine crystals in iodized salt, instead they add sodium iodide to the table salt. sodium iodide crystals are indistinguishable visually from the sodium chloride crystals of table salt.the only practical way to separate sodium iodide from sodium chloride is the very tedious repetitive process of dissolving the mixed salts and performing fractional crystallization of the solution.
