Q19 / 75 · JEE Main 2025 (29 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I): In partition chromatography, stationary phase is thin film of liquid present in the inert support.
Statement (II) : In paper chromatography, the material of paper acts as a stationary phase.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Correct answerAStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- BStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
Solution
Statement $I$ is true.
In partition chromatography, stationary phase is thin liquid film present in the inert support.
Statement II is false.
Because stationary phase in paper chromatography is water.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
