Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process shown in the drawing involves heating salt water in a container and collecting the steam that rises from it, then cooling the steam back into water form. This process is called distillation and is a method commonly used to purify salt water by separating the dissolved salts from the water. In this case, the salt remains in the original container as the steam collected is pure water. Filtration involves passing water through a filter material to remove solid particles, while ozonation and chlorination are methods of disinfecting water by introducing ozone or chlorine respectively to kill bacteria and other microbes.
