Molecular distillation is_____________________?

Correct answer: D. Both B. and C.

  • A. High temperature distillation
  • B. For heat-sensitive materials
  • C. Very low pressure distillation
  • D. Both B. and C.

Explanation

Molecular distillation operates at extremely low pressure, giving a very short mean free path and allowing heat-sensitive materials to be distilled at lower temperatures. Thus both low pressure and suitability for thermally sensitive substances apply.
