Statement-1: A mixture of o-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol can be separated by steam distillation. Statement-2: o-nitrophenol is steam volatile but p-nitrophenol is not though both are water soluble.

Steam distillation is a method that may separate o-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenol. Because of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, ortho nitro-phenol is steam volatile, but p-nitro phenol is less steam volatile than ortho nitro-phenol as a result of intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
