Two products X and Y are formed in the following reaction sequence
The suitable method that can be used for the separation of products X and Y is:
The suitable method that can be used for the separation of products X and Y is:
A
Continuous extraction
B
Differential extraction
C
Fractional distillation
D
Sublimation
The answer is C.
Benzene $\xrightarrow[AlCl_3]{CH_3Cl}$ Toluene (W) (Friedel-Crafts alkylation)
Toluene $\xrightarrow[dil.\ H_2SO_4,\ warm]{dil.\ HNO_3}$ o-nitrotoluene (X) + p-nitrotoluene (Y)
X and Y are positional isomers with different boiling points, so they can be separated by fractional distillation.
