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 answer
    A
    Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  • B
    Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  • C
    Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  • D
    Both 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'.
