Question

ASSERTION : Chloroform and benzene form a pair of miscible liquids and they are separated by fractional distillation. REASON : Boiling point of benzene is less than that of chloroform *

(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).

(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both assertion and reason are true and correct explanation

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

Fractional distillation is used to separate the liquids which have a difference in their boiling points. The boiling point of benzene is 80℃ & that of chloroform is 61.2 ℃. So, benzene can be separated out from chloroform by fractional distillation.
