Question

Assertion : A mixture of acetone and methanol can be separated by fractional distillation.
Reason : The difference between their boiling points is very less.

• A. Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
• B. Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
• C. Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
• D. Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A)

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A)

If a mixture is eparated by fraction distillation, then the difference between their boiling points should be less than 25 degrees centigrade.So, option A is correct.
