Question

During distillation, the pure liquid collected is called

• A. sublimate
• B. distillate
• C. filtrate
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

distillate

The explanation for the correct option -

• Distillation - It is the process of heating a liquid to form its vapor and then collecting and cooling these vapors to get the liquid back.
• Option B is correct because the salt solution can be separated into salt and water by the physical process of distillation.
• The salt will remain behind as residue and pure water is collected as distillate.

The explanation for the incorrect options -

• Option A is incorrect because sublimate is a substance that changes from solid-state into vapors.
• Option C is incorrect because filtrate is the liquid that passes through filter paper.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
