In these questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
Assertion: Hydrogen bonding in carboxylic acids is stronger than alcohols.
Reason: Highly branched carboxylic acids are more acidic than unbranched acids.
  • A
    Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
  • B
    Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
  • ✓
    Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
  • D
    Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
Highly branched carboxylic acids are less acidic than unbranched acids. The $+I$ effect of alkyl groups in branched acid increases the magnitude of negative charge. Thus$, -\text{COOH}$ group is shielded from solvent molecules and cannot be stabilized by solvation as effectively as in unbranched carboxylic acids.

Answer
Correct option: D.
Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Ketones are generally oxidised under vigorous conditions, i.e., strong oxidising agents and at elevated temperatures. Their oxidation involves carbon$-$carbon bond cleavage. The mild oxidising agents given below are used to distinguish aldehydes from ketones:
Tollen’ test: On warming an aldehyde with freshly prepared ammoniacal silver nitrate solution $($Tollen’s reagent$),$ a bright silver mirror is produced due to the formation of silver metal. The aldehydes are oxidised to corresponding carboxylate anion. The reaction occurs in alkaline medium.

Answer
Correct option: B.
Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
Carbonyl compounds fonn solid additive products with $\ce{NaHSO_3}$ which are separated out. The solid bisulphites of carbonyl compounds on hydrolysis with dilute acid regenerate original carbonyl compounds and thus, this property is used for the purification of carbonyl compounds as well as for their separation.

MCQ 131 Mark
In these questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
Assertion: Carboxylic acids are stabilised by resonance.
Reason: Chloroacetic acid is weaker than acetic acid.
  • A
    Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
  • B
    Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
  • ✓
    Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
  • D
    Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
Chlorine atom has $-I$ effect which increases the ionisation of chloroacetic acid and stabilizes the chloroacetate ion by dispersal of negative charge. In acetic acid, methyl group due to $+I$ effect destabilizes the acetate ion by intensification of negative charge. Hence, chloroacetic acid dissociates to a greater extent than acetic acid.
