Q: Distillation is an effective method to separate mixtures comprised of two or more what?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Distillation is an effective method to separate mixtures comprised of two or more pure liquids. Distillation is a purification process in which the components of a liquid mixture are vaporized (transformed from liquid to gas) and then condensed (transformed from gas back to liquid) and isolated. In a simple distillation, a mixture is gradually heated. The solution with the lowest boiling point will change into a gas first. This gas, or vapor, then passes through a cooled tube (a condenser) where it condenses back into its liquid state. This condensed liquid is called the distillate. Figure below illustrates this.

 Choices:

- solutes

- ionic compounds

- elements

- pure liquids


A:
pure liquids
