Camphoe or ammonium ehloride om heating directly convert into vapour. This is called sublimation, In contresi to ths, sand and common salt do not sublime So from mixture containing ammonium chloride, -ommon salt and sand, ammonium chloride can be separated by process of sublimation. On heating, ammonium chloride converts into vepour leaving behind the non-volatile components. On cooking, the vapour of ammonium chloride changes inte solid HCI (oli) > NHC (vapour) —» NHC (sl 2 Common sltis soluble in water but send is not soluble in water, 3.
