Q1 5.10 Using resources

A coastal town removes dissolved salts from seawater by distillation to make water suitable for drinking. Why is distillation effective for this purpose?

  1. Salt evaporates before water at ordinary temperatures.
  2. Distillation removes every dissolved gas and guarantees chemically pure water.
  3. The process changes salt into oxygen.
  4. Water evaporates and condenses while most dissolved salts remain behind.
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D. Water can be evaporated and condensed separately from non-volatile dissolved salts. Potable water is suitable to drink but is not necessarily pure.
