Questions 2.4d No 3

A mixture consists of small particles of solids X and Y. When heated, solid X easily melts into a thin liquid but does not dissolve Y. X and Y are non-magnetic and do not sublime. Neither are they destroyed by heat. Explain how you would obtain pure solid X and Y from the mixture. --------------------------------------------

  • Heat the mixture till all solid X melts.
