MCQ
$p-$ nitrophenol and $o-$ nitrophenol are separated by
  • A
    Crystallisation
  • B
    Fractional crystallisation
  • C
    Distillation
  • ✓
    Steam distillation
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
Steam distillation
d
(d) $o-$ 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.
