Phenol on reaction with dilute nitric acid, gives two products. Which method will be most efficient for large scale separation?

Options

AChromatographic separation
BSteam distillation
CFractional Crystallisation
DSublimation

Correct answer

B. Steam distillation

Step-by-step solution

The compound A is steam volatile. It is due to the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the compound A . Hence, the above mixture can be separated by steam distillation.
