Detailed Solution

A mixture of naphthalene and sodium chloride is separated by the process of sublimation as naphthalene is a sublime substance.

On heating, naphthalene changes its state from solid to gas without attaining the liquid state. This process is known as sublimation.

Sodium chloride is not a sublimable substance.
