7.(C) Ortho and para isomer can be separated by steam distillation. O-nitrophenol is steam volatile due to
intra molecular hydrogen bonding while p-nitrophenol is less volatile due to intermolecular hydrogen
bonding.

8.(C) A phenyl group is bulkier than a methyl group. Therefore, C6 H5CH(C6 H5 )Br is less reactive than
C6 H5CH(CH3 )Br in S N 2 reaction.

acid.

12.(C) C–Cl bond length in alcohol is 142 pm while in phenol is 136 pm. In phenol, sp 2 -hybridized carbon
with greater s-character is more electronegative and can hold the electron pair of C–O bond more
tightly hence stronger bond and shorter bond length.
