(N/A) To separate a mixture of naphthalene and ammonium chloride,we can use the property of solubility in water.
$1$. Take the mixture in a beaker and add water to it. Stir the mixture using a glass rod.
$2$. Ammonium chloride is soluble in water,whereas naphthalene is insoluble in water.
$3$. Filter the mixture using a funnel and filter paper. Naphthalene will remain as a residue on the filter paper,while the ammonium chloride solution will pass through as the filtrate.
$4$. Collect the filtrate in a china dish and heat it. The water will evaporate,leaving behind solid ammonium chloride crystals.
