-
1 Answer
-
Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:Boiling points of chloroform is 334 K and aniline is 457 K. Here difference in b. pt is more so they can be separated by simple distillation.
Aniline is insoluble (immiscible in water), the mixture of insoluble substance in water boils close to but below 373 K. so, aniline boils below its b.pt
