  • A
    Ice floats in water
  • B
    Higher lewis basicity of primary amines than tertiary amines in aqueous solutions
  • Formic acid is more acidic than acetic acid
  • D
    Dimerisation of acetic acid in benzene

Answer

Correct option: C.
Formic acid is more acidic than acetic acid
(C) Formic acid is more acidic because it has lesser number of alkyl groups attached and hence, lesser the $+ I$ effect of alkyl groups.
