(N/A) Evaporation: The solution is heated until the water evaporates,leaving behind solid sodium chloride.
$(b)$ Sublimation: Ammonium chloride sublimes on heating,while sodium chloride does not,allowing for separation.
$(c)$ Filtration: Metal pieces are solid particles that can be separated from the liquid oil using a filter.
$(d)$ Chromatography: This technique is used to separate different pigments based on their differential solubility in a solvent.
$(e)$ Centrifugation: Butter is separated from curd by spinning it at high speeds,which forces the denser components to the bottom and lighter butter to the top.
