Which is the most suitable technique for separating a mixture of sugars?

1. Fractional crystallization
2. Sublimation
3. Chromatography
4. Benedict's reagent

Correct answer: Chromatography

Solution

A mixture of sugars (non-volatile, similar properties) is best separated by chromatography. Sugars do not sublime, so the stored 'sublimation' is wrong.
