Question:

Given below are two statements:} Statement I:} A mixture of \(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}\) (sugar) and \(NaCl\) can be separated by dissolving sugar in alcohol, due to differential solubility. Statement II:} Rose essence from rose petals is separated by steam distillation due to its high volatility and insolubility in \(H_2O\). Choose the correct answer.

Updated On: Apr 12, 2026
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  • Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  • Statement I is false but Statement II is true

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Separation methods depend on solubility differences or volatility. Step 1: {Check Statement I} Sugar is highly soluble in water but not soluble in alcohol. Thus sugar cannot be selectively dissolved in alcohol to separate from \(NaCl\). Hence Statement I is false. Step 2: {Check Statement II} Steam distillation is used for compounds that:
  • are volatile with steam
  • are immiscible with water
Rose essence (essential oil) satisfies these conditions. Hence Statement II is true.
