Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To separate the a mixture of chalk and potassium chloride, we must not that chalk is calcium carbonate compound, CaCO₃.
Calcium carbonate has low solubility in water. KCl is readily soluble in water and it is also an ionic compound.
To separate a mixture of compounds with various solubility, we can carryout dissolution, filtration and evaporation.
We first pour pure water into the mixture. Water will dissolve the potassium chloride readily.
Then using a filter paper we filter out the suspended chalk particles. Leave the filtrate to then dry and collect it.
The solution filtered should be evaporated to dryness. This will leave the KCl behind from the solution.
