The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that compounds with a difference in their boiling points of about 30°C can be separated by simple distillation. - **Explanation**: Simple distillation is effective for separating liquids with a significant difference in boiling points, typically around 25-30°C or more. Therefore, the assertion is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that all liquid mixtures can be separated by the distillation method. - **Explanation**: This statement is **false**. Not all liquid mixtures can be separated by distillation. For distillation to be effective, at least one of the components in the mixture must be volatile (able to vaporize easily). If both components have similar boiling points or if neither is volatile, distillation will not work effectively. ### Step 3: Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is **true**. - The reason is **false**. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect. ### Final Answer - Assertion: True - Reason: False
