JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question
Given below are two statements: Statement I: A mixture of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (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 H₂O. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer: (A)
Solution
Sugar dissolves in hot alcohol while NaCl does not, so the two can be separated by differential solubility.
