1. You are provided with a mixture of naphthalene and ammonium chloride by your teacher. Suggest an activity to separate them with well labeled diagram.

2. You want to wear your favorite shirt to a party, but the problem is that it is still wet after a wash. What steps would you take to dry it faster?

3. Comment on the following statements:

(a) Evaporation produces cooling.

(b) Rate of evaporation of an aqueous solution decreases with increase in humidity.

(c) Sponge though compressible is a solid.
