Given below are two statements: Statement \(I :\) A mixture of chloroform and aniline can be separated by simple distillation. Statement \(II :\) When separating aniline from a mixture of aniline and water by steam distillation aniline boils below its boiling point. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  1. A Statement\(-I\) is false but Statement \(II\) is true
  2. B Both Statement\(-I\) and Statement \(II\) are false

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both Statement\(-I\) and Statement \(II\) are true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement \(1: B.P.\) of chloroform \(=334 K\) \(B.P.\) of aniline \(=457 K\) thus can be seprated of simple distillation. Statement \(2 :\) Mixture of aniline and water seprated by simple distillation.
