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 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 in it.
