Q50 / 180 · AIIMS 2001 · Chemistry

Assertion : $\mathrm{CHCl}_3$ and $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}$ are miscible. Reason : One of them is polar.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • Correct answer
    C
    If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  • D
    If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Solution

$\mathrm{CHCl}_3$ and $\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{OH}$ are miscible due to intermolecular van der Waals force of attraction. However, $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}$ and $\mathrm{CHCl}_3$ are polar molecules.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
