JEE Main Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Question

Match List-I with List-II. List-I (Purification technique) List-II (Used to separate) A. Simple distillation I. Steam volatile compound B. Fractional distillation II. Two liquids with large difference in boiling points C. Steam distillation III. Liquid decomposing at its boiling point D. Distillation under reduced pressure IV. Two liquids with close boiling points Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. A. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
  2. B. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
  3. C. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
  4. D. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

Answer

B. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

Step-by-step solution

Simple distillation is used to separate two liquids with a large difference in boiling points. Fractional distillation is used to separate two liquids with close boiling points. Steam distillation is used to separate steam volatile compounds. Distillation under reduced pressure is used to separate liquids that decompose at their boiling points. Therefore, the correct match is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III. Answer: A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
