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:

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  3. CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

Correct answer

A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step solution

Statement 1 : B . P . of chloroform = 334 K B . P . of aniline = 457 K thus can be seprated of simple distillation. Statement 2 : Mixture of aniline and water seprated by simple distillation. A suitable method for separating a mixture of aniline and chloro form would be steam distillation. Steam distillation is the process used to separate aromatic compound from a mixture because of their temperature sensitivity. Therefore, steam distillation is an ideal method for their separation
