Assertion : Boiling point of p-nitrophen...

Assertion : Boiling point of p-nitrophenol is greater than that of o-nitrophenol.
Reason : There is intramolecular hydrogen bonding in p-nitrophenol and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in o-nitrophenol.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason in not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
There is intermolecular hydrogen bonding in p - nitrophenol and intramolecular hydrongen bonding in o- nitrophenol. As intramolecular hydrogen bonding in o- nitrophenol prevents further association, it has lower boiling point than p - nitrophenol.
