JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 26th February Morning Shift - No. 5)
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : A mixture of chloroform and aniline can be separated by simple distillation.
Statement II : When separating aniline from a mixture of aniline and water by steam distillation aniline boils below its boiling point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Statement I : A mixture of chloroform and aniline can be separated by simple distillation.
Statement II : When separating aniline from a mixture of aniline and water by steam distillation aniline boils below its boiling point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Explanation
Mixture of chloroform and aniline can be
separated by simple distillation as these
two liquids have sufficient difference in
boiling point.
Chloroform (b.p. 334 K), aniline (b.p. 457 K)
In steam distillation, if one of the substances is water and the other, a water insoluble substance (like aniline) then the mixture will boil close to but below 373 K.
In steam distillation, if one of the substances is water and the other, a water insoluble substance (like aniline) then the mixture will boil close to but below 373 K.
