Question

STATEMENT-1 :p-Hydroxybenzoic acid has a lower boiling point than o-hydroxybenzoic acid because STATEMENT-2: o-Hydroxybenzoic acid has intramolecular hydrogen bonding. (A) Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1 (B) Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1 (C) Statement- 1 is True, Statement- 2 is False (D) Statement- 1 is False, Statement- 2 is True

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

p-hydroxybenzoic acid has higher boiling point than o-hydroxybenzoic acid because the intermolecular forces are stronger in para isomer, whereas ortho isomer is stabilized by hydrogen bonding.

Q. STATEMENT-1 : $p$ -Hydroxybenzoic acid has a lower boiling point than $o$ -hydroxybenzoic acid
because
STATEMENT-2 : $o$ -Hydroxybenzoic acid has intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1

Statement- 1 is True, Statement- 2 is False

Statement- 1 is False, Statement- 2 is True

$p$ -hydroxybenzoic acid has higher boiling point than $o$ -hydroxybenzoic acid because the intermolecular forces are stronger in para isomer, whereas ortho isomer is stabilized by hydrogen bonding.
