Iodine can be separated from a mixture of Iodine and Potassium Chloride by

A Sedimentation
B Filtration
C Sublimation
D Distillation

Correct Answer: Sublimation

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.
