Sublimation is a technique that helps chemists to:

1. break
2. purify
3. melt
4. freeze

Correct answer: purify

Solution

Sublimation is useful for purification because a sublimable solid changes directly from solid to gas and then re-deposits as a cleaner solid. Impurities that do not sublime stay behind, so the sample becomes purer.
