Question

Which method is used to obtain distilled water from the salt solution?

• A. Evaporation
• B. Distillation
• C. Filtration

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Distillation

Answer:

The explanations for the correct answers:

Option B: Distillation

• Distillation is a method for separating the liquid solvent from a soluble salt or solute from a solution.
• For example, water can be separated from the salt solution by simple distillation.
• This method works because water has a much lower boiling point than salt.

The explanations for the incorrect answers:

Option A: Evaporation

• The process by which water changes from its liquid state to a gaseous state or vapour.
• It cannot be used to obtain distilled water from the salt solution.
• So, option A is the wrong answer.

Option C: Filtration

• A process by which insoluble solute particles can be removed from a solution by using filter paper is known as filtration.
• It cannot be used to obtain distilled water from the salt solution.
• So, option C is the wrong answer.

So, the method used to obtain distilled water from salt solution is a distillation.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B Distillation.
