- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer
(1) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Solution
Statement I: as per NCERT, sublimation separates sublimable compounds (those that change from solid to vapour directly without melting) from non-sublimable impurities. A low melting point is not the criterion false.
Statement II: a liquid boils when its vapour pressure equals the external pressure. If the external pressure is reduced, this happens at a lower temperature, so the boiling point decreases (used in distillation under reduced pressure) false.
Answer: (1)
