Match List I with List II
| LIST I (Technique) | LIST II (Application) | ||
| A. | Distillation | I. | Separation of glycerol from spent-lye |
| B. | Fractional distillation | II. | Aniline - Water mixture |
| C. | Steam distillation | III. | Separation of crude oil fractions |
| D. | Distillation under reduced pressure | IV. | Chloroform-Aniline |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
A mixture of chloroform and aniline can be separated by distillation. The boiling point of chloroform is C, and that of aniline is C. Therefore, distillation can be used to separate a mixture of chloroform and aniline.
Fractional distillation is the process by which oil refineries separate crude oil into different, more useful hydrocarbon products based on their relative molecular weights in a distillation tower.
Steam Distillation is a separation process for temperature-sensitive substances. It is a particular type of distillation. Another way around is a method for separating miscible liquid bases depending upon their volatilities. Aniline - Water mixture can be separated by this technique.
For separating glycerol from spent-lye is distillation under reduced pressure because glycerol has a high boiling point and since in this method the external pressure is lowered, it boils at a lower temperature.
Hence option B is the answer.
