Choose the process involved in the separation of ortho and para nitrophenol and the reason behind respectively
(a) steam distillation, metallic bonding
(b) sublimation, Hydrogen bonding
(c) steam distillation, van der Waal’s forces
(d) steam distillation, Hydrogen bonding
Choose the process involved in the separation of ortho and para nitrophenol and the reason behind respectively

(b) sublimation, Hydrogen bonding
(c) steam distillation, van der Waal’s forces
(d) steam distillation, Hydrogen bonding
Correct option (d) steam distillation, Hydrogen bonding
Explanation:
o-nitrophenol is steam volatile due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding while p-nitrophenol is less volatile due to inter molecular H-bonding hence they can be separated by steam distillation only.
