What is the primary criterion for a compound to be suitable for purification by sublimation?
Options
- AIt should have a low sublimation point.
- BIt should be a liquid at room temperature.
- CIt should have high sublimation point.
- DIt should be volatile.
Correct answer
C. It should have high sublimation point.
Step-by-step solution
Compounds suitable for purification by sublimation should have a high sublimation point, meaning they can change from solid to vapor at relatively high temperatures.
