MCQ
Acetic acid exists as dimer in benzene due to
- ACondensation reaction
- ✓Hydrogen bonding
- CPresence of carboxyl group
- DPresence of hydrogen atom at $\alpha - $ carbon
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Hydrogen bonding
b
Benzene is a non-polar solvent and acetic acid is a polar molecule. In benzene, two molecules of acetic acid form intermolecular $H$-bond and hence it exists as a dimer in Benzene.
