Iodine can be separated from calcium chloride using sublimation because of the distinct physical properties of the two substances:
1. Iodine is a sublimable solid, meaning it transitions directly from a solid state to a gaseous state upon heating without passing through a liquid phase.
2. Calcium chloride is a non-sublimable ionic salt with a very high melting point, so it remains in the solid state while the iodine vapourizes.
