During steam distillation of a mixture of `o-`nitrophenol and `p-`nitrophenol

A

vaour of `o-`nitrophenol are carried by steam because of its lower boiling point due to chelation.

B

vapour of `o-`nitrophenol are carried by steam because of its lower boiling point and solubility in steam.

C

vapour of `o-`nitrophenol are carried by steam because its boiling point is reduced by steam.

D

vapour of `p-`nitrophenol are carried by steam because of its lower boiling point.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Only `o-`nitrophenol is capable of forming intramolecular `H-`bonding `(` chelation `)` which leads to its lowe `b.p. (` less than `100^(@)C)` and also lower solubility in water `(` steam `)`.
