Solution
The correct option is D Hydrogen sulfide A student placed water, sodium chloride, potassium dichromate, sand, chalk, and hydrogen sulfide into a distilling flask and proceeded to distill. Hydrogen sulfide rather than water would be found in the distillate. Hydrogen sulfide is a gas with boiling point of −60oC. It is water soluble. Water is high boiling liquid. Sodium chloride, potassium dichromate, sand, chalk are solids. When distillation will be carried out, the solids will remain in the distillation flask. Water and hydrogen sulphide will be found in the receiver.
