135)A)True explaination

o-Nitrophenol forms intramolecular H bond whereas molecules of p-Nitrophenol get associated

through intermolecular H bond. The strong intermolecular H bonding increases the boiling point
but intramolecular H bonding cannot do so. • Therefore, o-Nitrophenol is more steam volatile
than p-Nitrophenol.
