Assertion: o-and p-nitrophenol can be se...

Assertion: `o-`and `p`-nitrophenol can be separated by steam distillation.
Reason: `o-`nitrophenols have intramolecular hydorgen bonding while `p`-nitrophenols exists as associated molecules.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
o and p -nitrophenols can be separated by steam distillation because o -nitrophenol is steam volatile. Here, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
