Impure camphor is purified by A. Sublimation B. Fractional crystallisation C. Fractional distillation D. Steam distillation

Sublimation
Fractional crystallisation
Fractional distillation
Steam distillation

The correct answer is A. Sublimation.

Sublimation is the process of a solid turning directly into a gas without passing through the liquid state. It is a physical change that occurs when a substance has a high vapor pressure at a relatively low temperature. Camphor is a solid that sublimes at room temperature, so it can be purified by sublimation.

Fractional crystallisation is a

process used to separate mixtures of two or more substances that have different solubilities in a solvent. The mixture is dissolved in a solvent and then cooled slowly. The substance with the lower solubility will crystallize out first, followed by the substance with the higher solubility.

Fractional distillation is a process used to separate mixtures of two or more liquids that have different boiling points. The mixture is heated and the vapor is condensed into a liquid. The liquid with the lower boiling point will vaporize first, followed by the liquid with the higher boiling point.

Steam distillation is a process used to separate mixtures of a solid and a liquid that are immiscible in water. The mixture is heated with steam and the vapor is condensed into a liquid. The solid will remain in the solid state.

In conclusion, impure camphor is purified by sublimation.
