MCQ
$STATEMENT$-$1$: $p$-Hydroxybenzoic acid has a lower boiling point than $o$-hydroxybenzoic acid. because

$STATEMENT$-$2$: $o$-Hydroxybenzoic acid has intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

  • A
    Statement-$1$ is True, Statement-$2$ is True; Statement-$2$ is a correct explanation for Statement-$1$.
  • B
    Statement-$1$ is True, Statement-$2$ is True; Statement-$2$ is $NOT$ a correct explanation for Statement-$1$.
  • C
    Statement-$1$ is True, Statement -$2$ is False.
  • Statement-$1$ is False, Statement-$2$ is True.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Statement-$1$ is False, Statement-$2$ is True.
d
$Image$ More stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding

$Image$ More stronger intermolecular forces increases the boiling point.

Hence $(D)$ is correct.
