Statement 1: Distillation is very useful for low boiling metals like Zn and Hg.Statement 2: In liquation, a low melting metal like tin can be made to flow on a sloping surface in order to separate it from higher melting impurities.

Distillation is very useful for low boiling metals like zinc and mercury. The impure metal is evaporated to obtain the pure metal as distillate. In liquation, a low melting metallike tin can be made to flow on a sloping surface. ln this way, it is separated from higher melting impurities.
