Question

Name the metal which can be purified by the distillation process.

Answer 1

• The process of conversion of liquid form into vapor which is subsequently condensed back into liquid form is called the Distillation process.
• It is a process where a mixture made up of two or more liquids("components") with different boiling points can be separated from each other.

The distillation method mainly consists of three steps:

• Conversion of the liquid from a mixture into vapor.
• The condensation of the purified liquid.
• The collection of the condensed liquid.
• It is used for the refining of low boiling metals.

Therefore, Zinc($\mathrm{Zn}$) is a metal that can be purified by the distillation method.
