The most suitable method for the separation of a 1:1 mixture of ortho and para nitrophenols is:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Distillation
Ortho nitrophenol shows intramolecular H-bonding while para nitrophenol shows intermolecular H-bonding. Therefore, the boiling point of ortho nitrophenol is lower than that of para nitrophenol.
When two miscible components have difference in their boiling points, distillation is the best suited separation technique.
