Step 1: Understand "Solubility in Two Different Solvents"

This principle exploits the fact that a compound has different solubilities in two immiscible solvents. The compound migrates preferentially into the solvent in which it is more soluble. This is governed by the distribution (partition) coefficient:

Step 2: Evaluate Each Option

| Method | Underlying Principle |
|---|---|
| Column Chromatography | Differential adsorption on solid stationary phase |
| Sublimation | Vapour pressure (soli
