A) Crystallisation
B) Fractional crystallisation
C) Distillation
D) Steam distillation
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
o-nitro phenol has intra molecular hydrogen bonding, while p-nitrophenol has intermolecular hydrogen bonding (comparitively stronger). Due to this reason, the boiling point of o-nitrophenol is found quite less than that of p-nitrophenol. Hence, o-nitrophenol is steam volatile and can be separated from p-nitrophenol by steam distillation.
