QJEEM21Chfa7d: JEE Main 2021 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM21Chfa7d Solution: Given below are two statements : Statement I : o-Nitrophenol is …
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : o-Nitrophenol is steam volatile due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
Statement II : o-Nitrophenol has high melting due to hydrogen bonding.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Statement I : o-Nitrophenol is steam volatile due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
Statement II : o-Nitrophenol has high melting due to hydrogen bonding.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Multiple Choice Options
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- B Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- C Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- D Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
So it is more volatile due to intramolecular H-bonding.
Melting point depends on packing efficiency not on H-bonding thus statement II is false.
