Solution

  • 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(Zn) is a metal that can be purified by the distillation method.
