A mixture containing equal amounts of ortho-nitrophenol and para-nitrophenol needs to be separated. Which of the following separation methods exploits the difference in their volatility due to intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding?
Fractional crystallization
Simple distillation
Steam distillation
Solvent extraction
Which property difference between ortho-nitrophenol and para-nitrophenol is utilized in their separation by steam distillation?
Melting point
Solubility in water
Volatility
Density
Why is steam distillation preferred over simple distillation for separating a mixture of ortho and para nitrophenols?
It is a faster method.
It requires less energy.
It allows separation at lower temperatures, preventing decomposition.
It is more efficient for separating isomers.
In the context of separating a mixture of ortho and para nitrophenols, what makes ortho-nitrophenol more amenable to steam distillation?
Higher molecular weight
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding
Lower melting point
Intramolecular hydrogen bonding
