The fragrance of flowers is due to the presence of some steam volatile organic compounds called essential oils. These are generally insoluble in water at room temperature but are miscible with water vapor in the vapor phase. A suitable method for the extraction of these oils from the flowers is
1. | Distillation | 2. | Crystallisation |
3. | Distillation under pressure | 4. | Steam distillation |
Match Column I with Column II.

A. Dumas method | 1. AgNO3 |
B. Kjeldahl’s method | 2. Silica gel |
C. Carius method | 3. Nitrogen gel |
D. Chromatography | 4. Ammonium sulphate |

Assertion (A): | Sulphur present in an organic compound can be estimated quantitatively by the Carius method. |
Reason (R): | Sulphur is separated easily from other atoms in the molecule and gets precipitated as a light yellow solid. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
