Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles Part 1

Statement I is true, i.e. a mixture of chloroform and aniline can be separated by simple distillation. Boiling points of chloroform (334K) and aniline (457 K) differ largely. So, on boiling the\/mixture, vapours of CHCl3 are formed first which is then condensed to pure liquid CHCl3.
Whereas, the vapours of aniline will form later and liquid aniline can be collected separately.
Statement II is also true, i.e. aniline and water can be separated by steam distillation technique. Aniline is steam volatile but immiscible with water. So, a mixture of aniline and water will boil close to but below 373K. After distillation, the mixture of aniline (bottom layer) and water (top layer) can be separated by separating funnel.
So, both statements I and II are true (option-d).
