Describe the various steps involved in the separation of iodine, iron filings and salt from a mixture.


The following steps are involved in the separation of iron filings, chalk powder, and common salt:
  1. A magnet is moved over the mixture of iodine, iron fillings, and salt. Due to the magnetic property of iron, iron filings are separated by the magnet.
  2. The mixture now contains iodine and salt. Iodine sublimes on heating but salt does not. Hence, on heating the mixture, the vapours of iodine are obtained.
  3. Vapours of iodine are condensed in a cold apparatus. Salt remains behind as residue.
