easy
Mercury is purified by :
A
Passing through dilute $HNO_3$
B
Distillation
C
Distribution
D
Vapour phase refining
Solution
Mercury has a low boiling point. Therefore it can be purified by the process of distillation because then mercury will evaporate and collected in pure form and impurities will remain back.
