Which one of the following methods can be used to obtain highly pure metal which is liquid at room temperature?

  1. Zone refining
  2. Electrolysis
  3. Chromatography
  4. Distillation

Answer

(4) Distillation

Solution

The metal that is liquid at room temperature is mercury, which has a low boiling point.

As per NCERT, distillation is very useful for low boiling metals like zinc and mercury: the impure metal is evaporated to obtain the pure metal as distillate.

Answer: (4)
