Solution:
Sublimation -Conversion of solid directly into gaseous phase. The liquid state does not exist.
e.g., − naphthalene, anthracene. Beilstein test-Simple chemical lest for halogens. Victor-Meyers method-Standard laboratory method for determining the molecular weight of a volatile liquid.
Steam distillation- Vaporization of the volatile constituents of a liquid. It is special type of distillation for a temperature sensitive materials like aromatic natural compounds, eg,-ortho nitrophenol, cinnamaldehyde. Vacuum distillation-Distillation at reduced pressure. It is generally used in case of high boiling liquids which decompose below their normal boiling points, cant be purified by distillation at atmospheric pressure eg,− glycerol. Eudiometry- It is the process of determining the constituents of a gaseous mixture by eudiometer. It is used for ascertaining the purity of air or amount of O2 in it.
