The easiest way is to shake the bottles, NaCl wil move easily and NH4Cl wont move very easily when shaken.
Sublimation - on gentle heating ammonium chloride will sublime. Sodium Chloride does not and has a high melting point.
To separate ammonium chloride from a mixture of ammonium chloride and sodium chloride, you can dissolve the mixture in water to form a solution. Then, heat the solution to evaporate the water, leaving behind solid ammonium chloride due to its lower melting point compared to sodium chloride. This process is known as crystallization.
Sodium chloride and ammonium chloride can be separated either by sublimation or filtration or crystallization. Sublimation can be found on this site ------------ http://www.lenntech.com/Chemistry/sublimation.htm. I personally think that this method is the easiest.
The secret to separating any mixture is to find a property in which the mixed substances differ. For instance, sodium choride (NaCl)is very soluble in water; whereas, ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is not. By putting the mixture of NaCl and NH4Cl in water (enough to dissolve all of the NaCl, but not enough to dissolve the NH4Cl), the NaCl will dissolve, and the solid left behind is ammonium chloride.
Sodium chloride is NaCl. Ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3.
NaCl, table salt, and ammonium chloride will both dissolve in water. Sand is only sparingly soluble in water. If you want to further separate ammonium chloride from sodium chloride, you will need to dry the resulting solution. The sodium chloride will precipitate out first. The ammonium chloride will remain in the supernatant and can be poured off leaving the sodium chloride crystals behind.
One way to separate common salt (sodium chloride) and ammonium chloride is by sublimation. Heat the mixture and the ammonium chloride will turn into gas and can be collected as a solid when it re-condenses. The common salt remains behind as a solid.
I suppose that the best method is a repeated crystallization/recrystallization process.
The experiment will not work because sodium chloride does not sublime. Ammonium chloride appears to sublime upon heating. However, this process is actually decomposition into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas. NH4Cl + heat → NH3 + HCl (Wikipedia)
Ammonium chloride > sodium chloride > sucrose Sucrose > sodium chloride > ammonium chloride Sodium chloride > ammonium chloride > sucrose The correct answer is option 1: Ammonium chloride > sodium chloride > sucrose.
Heat it until the ammonium chloride sublimes. Then add distilled water to what's left, stir, allow the solid to settle to the bottom of the dish, and decant the liquid. Repeat that 3 times. That'll extract the sodium chloride (salt) from the silicon dioxide (sand), because the NaCl is soluble in water. Then heat the salt water solution carefully until all the water is evaporated. Then heat the sand to dry it out.
One method to separate a mixture of barium sulfate and ammonium chloride, and lead chloride would be to use precipitation. By adding a solution of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), barium sulfate will precipitate out due to its low solubility. The remaining solution can then be filtered to separate the lead chloride from the ammonium chloride.
