Question

Consider the following molecules and statements related to them :\(1) (B) is more likely to be crystalline than (A)\ (2) ($B$) has higher boiling point than ( $A$ )\ (3) (B) dissolves more readily than $(A)$ in water \Identify the correct option from below :\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(a,b,d) :Due to the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding ortho-hydroxybenzoic acid has less crystalline nature, lower boiling point and less solubility in water than those of para-hydroxybenzoic acid. Hence, all the given statements are correct.\
