What is the primary advantage of sublimation as a purification technique?
Options
- AIt is fast and efficient.
- BIt is suitable for all types of compounds.
- CIt allows for easy separation of volatile impurities.
- DIt bypasses the liquid phase, minimizing the risk of decomposition.
Correct answer
D. It bypasses the liquid phase, minimizing the risk of decomposition.
Step-by-step solution
One of the primary advantages of sublimation is that it bypasses the liquid phase, reducing the risk of compound decomposition during purification.
