Answer:

Correct Answer: 7. (a)

Solution:

  1. The correct option is :

$$ (\mathrm{A}) \rightarrow(\mathrm{Q}) ;(\mathrm{B}) \rightarrow(\mathrm{R}) ;(\mathrm{C}) \rightarrow(\mathrm{S}) $$

(A) $\mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O}$ and sugar mixture They do not react chemically. On heating, solubility of sugar in $\mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O}$ increases and on rapid cooling of saturated solution, sugar recrystallises $(Q)$.

(B) $\mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O}$ and aniline mixture Aniline is steam volatile but insoluble in $\mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O}$. So, steam distillation $(R)$ is employed for their separation.

(C) $\mathbf{H}{2} \mathbf{O}$ and toluene mixture Toluene is steam non-volatile and also insoluble in $\mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O}$. So, differential extraction method (S) can be used to separate them.
