Sublimation

The process in which a solid changes directly into its vapour on heating is called sublimation.

This method is based on the difference between the sublimable and non-sublimable nature of solids.

The mixture of sublimable and non-sublimable substances is heated on an evaporating dish covered with an inverted funnel.

On heating ammonium chloride changes into vapours, which condenses into a solid in neck of the funnel and

common salt left behind in the dish.
