  1. A Steam distillation
  2. B \(2-5\) ft long column of silica gel
  3. C Sublimation
  4. D Preparative \(TLC\) (Thin Layer Chromatography)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Preparative \(TLC\) (Thin Layer Chromatography)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Solvent polarity has been related to \(R _{ f }\) value of nitrocompounds.\(100\,mg\) p-nitrophenol and picric acid have different \(R _{ f }\) value on silica gel plate \(\therefore\) Preparative TLC is best to separate \(100\,mg\) of
