NEET2001ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
Assertion : CHCl ₃ and CH ₃ OH are miscible. Reason : One of them is polar.
Options
- AIf both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
- BIf both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
- CIf Assertion is true but Reason is false.
- DIf Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Correct answer
C. If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
CHCl ₃ and CH ₃- OH are miscible due to intermolecular van der Waals force of attraction. However, CH ₃ OH and CHCl ₃ are polar molecules.
