QJEEM22Ch328e: JEE Main 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM22Ch328e Solution: Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A …
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : A mixture contains benzoic acid and napthalene. The pure benzoic acid can be separated out by the use of benzene.
Reason R : Benzoic acid is soluble in hot water.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Multiple Choice Options
- A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- B Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
- C A is true but R is false.
- D A is false but R is true.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Since, both benzoic acid and naphthalene will dissolve in benzene. Hence assertion is wrong.
Benzoic acid is almost insoluble in cold water but soluble in hot water. Hence Reason is true.
Benzoic acid is almost insoluble in cold water but soluble in hot water. Hence Reason is true.
