Which one of the following methods can be used to obtain highly pure metal which is liquid at room temperature?
Electrolysis
Chromatography
Distillation
Zone refining
To solve this problem, we need to identify the method suitable for obtaining highly pure metal that is liquid at room temperature.Let's analyze each option:• Option 1: Electrolysis is a method used for purifying metals, but it is not typically used for metals that are liquid at room temperature.• Option 2: Chromatography is a technique used for separating mixtures, not for purifying metals.• Option 3: Distillation is a suitable method for purifying metals that are liquid at room temperature. This is because distillation involves heating the liquid metal to vaporize it and then condensing the vapor back into a liquid, effectively separating it from impurities. Mercury (Hg) is an example of a metal that is liquid at room temperature and can be purified by distillation.• Option 4: Zone refining is used for purifying semiconductors and solid metals, not for metals that are liquid at room temperature.Therefore, the correct method for obtaining highly pure metal that is liquid at room temperature is distillation.This corresponds to Option 3.
