Given below are two statements :
Statement I : A mixture of C\(_{12}\)H\(_{22}\)O\(_{11}\) (sugar) and NaCl can be separated by dissolving sugar in alcohol, due to differential solubility.
Statement II : Rose essence from rose petals is seperated by steam distillation due to its high volatility and insolubility in H\(_2\)O.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement I : Sugar (\(\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}\)) is soluble in alcohol, whereas sodium chloride (\(\text{NaCl}\)) is insoluble in alcohol. Therefore, a mixture of sugar and salt can be separated based on their differential solubility in alcohol. This statement…
