Q. Ortho-nitrophenol is steam volatile whereas para-nitrophenol is not. This is due to

1.

Intramolecular hydrogen bonding present in ortho-nitrophenol

2.

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding present in para-nitrophenol

3.

Intramolecular hydrogen bonding present in para-nitrophenol

4.

Inter-molecular hydrogen bonding present in ortho-nitrophenol.

Q. Assertion :Boiling point of p-nitrophenol is greater than that of o-nitrophenol. Reason: There is intramolecular hydrogen bonding in p-nitrophenol and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in o-nitrophenol.

Q. Assertion :p-Nitrophenol is a stronger acid than o-nitrophenol. Reason: Intramolecular hydrogen bonding makes the o-isomer weaker than the p-isomer

Q. Assertion (A) : Ortho and para nitrophenols can be separated by steam distillation.
Reason (R) : Ortho nitrophenol exhibits intramolecular hydrogen bonding while para nitrophenol exists as associated molecules.

Q. Assertion :p- Nitrophenol is a stronger acid than o-nitrophenol. Reason: Intramolecular H-bond makes o-isomer weaker than p-isomer.
