Purification & Characterisation · Distillation methods

Match List-I with List-II.

List-I

(Purification technique)

List-II

(Used to separate)

A.Simple distillationI.Steam volatile compound
B.Fractional distillationII.Two liquids with large difference in boiling points
C.Steam distillationIII.Liquid decomposing at its boiling point
D.Distillation under reduced pressureIV.Two liquids with close boiling points
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
  1. (1)A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
  2. (2)A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
  3. (3)A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
  4. (4)A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
We corrected a printing error in the original paper

Answer corrected; the source key is (3) — steam distillation separates steam-volatile compounds (C-I) and distillation under reduced pressure is used for liquids that decompose at their boiling point (D-III).
