Which of the following scenarios best describes separation by distillation?

A sample of ocean water is boiled in a glass flask. A solid remains in the flask, and a hot gas flows
into a cooling chamber. When the as cools enough, it condenses back into a liquid in a separate flask.
O a stip of paper with a sample of ink is placed in a jar. The liquid runs up the paper, resulting in
colored bars running up in a line.
O A funnel and porous paper are used to separate solids in a sample of dirty water from the liquid.
O Aliquid sample is spun quickly in a centrifuge. A layer of solid forms on the bottom of the test tube
over time.
