AI Generated Solution

To separate a mixture of o-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol, you can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Properties - **Identify the compounds**: Recognize that o-nitrophenol (ortho-nitrophenol) and p-nitrophenol (para-nitrophenol) have different structural properties, which affect their physical characteristics. - **Hydrogen bonding**: Note that o-nitrophenol has intramolecular hydrogen bonding, while p-nitrophenol has intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This difference influences their boiling points. ### Step 2: Analyze Boiling Points - **Boiling point comparison**: Determine that o-nitrophenol has a lower boiling point due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding, while p-nitrophenol has a higher boiling point because of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. ...
