Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:

This problem requires matching processes in List-I with their corresponding distillation techniques in List-II. The matching is based on the properties of the mixtures and the suitability of distillation methods for their separation.

  1. (A) Aniline from Aniline-Water Mixture: Aniline and water exhibit different boiling points. Steam distillation is employed to separate aniline from water, enabling the isolation of high-boiling point components without thermal decomposition. Consequently, (A) aligns with (IV).
  2. (B) Glycerol from Spent-Lye (Soap Industry): Glycerol is typically separated from other constituents via distillation under reduced pressure to prevent decomposition at elevated temperatures. Thus, (B) corresponds to (III).
  3. (C) Different Fractions of Crude Oil (Petroleum Industry): Crude oil, a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with varying boiling points, is separated into distinct fractions through fractional distillation. Therefore, (C) matches with (II).
  4. (D) Chloroform-Aniline Mixture: For simple mixtures with clearly differentiated boiling points, simple distillation is the appropriate separation method. Hence, (D) aligns with (I).

Result:

The correct pairings are: (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).

The correct answer is: (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).
