MCQs on Distillation

Distillation is the process by which non-volatile impurities can be removed from the volatile liquids. Volatile liquids with significant differences in their boiling points can also be separated by distillation. Fractional distillation is used to separate volatile liquids having not much difference in their boiling points. Substances that decompose before their boiling points are purified by distillation under reduced pressure or vacuum distillation.

1. A mixture of o-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol can be separated by

(a) crystallisation

(b) chromatography

(c) sublimation

(d) steam distillation

Answer: (d)

2. The commonly used method to separate naphthalene from benzoic acid is

(a) sublimation

(b) crystallisation

(c) distillation

(d) chromatography

Answer: (a)

3. This is not separated by distillation
