JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.1. Organic chemistry Nomenclature of organic compounds

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Vapours of the liquid with higher boiling point condense before vapours of the liquid with lower boiling points in fractional distillation.
Statement II: The vapours rising up in the fractionating column become richer in high boiling component of the mixture.
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

(C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In fractional distillation, the temperature of the fractionating column decreases from bottom to top. As the vapours of the mixture rise, they cool and undergo condensation. The component with the higher boiling point condenses at a higher temperature, meaning it condenses…
