(5.) (d) Carboxylic acids are soluble in less polar organic solvents like benzene, ether, alcohol, chloroform
etc.
(6.) (c) A is correct but R is incorrect.
(7.) (a) Only statement (a) is incorrect. Other statements are correct. Corrected statement is “the aldehydes
and ketones which are not sterically hindered on reaction with NaHSO3 give bisulphite addition
product”.

45
(8.) (b) Acyl chloride is hydrogenated over catalyst, palladium on barium sulphate. This reaction is called
Rosenmund reduction.

(9.) (b) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(10.) (c) Highly branched carboxylic acids are less than unbranched acids. The +I effect of alkyl groups in
branched acid increases the magnitude of negative group. Thus, –COOH group is shielded from solvent
molecules and cannot be stabilized by solvation as effectively as in unbranched carboxylic acids.
(11.) (c) The incorrect match is

(c).
(12.) (c) Only statement (c) is correct. Other statements are incorrect. Fehling’s reagent is a mixture of two
solutions, i.e. Fehling’s solution A and B. Fehling’s solution A is an aqueous copper sulphate and
Fehling’s solution B is an alkaline sodium potassium tartarate. When an aldehyde is heated with
Fehling’s reagent, a reddish brown precipitate is obtained.
(13.) (c) Alkyl benzene on reaction with alk. KMnO4 produces aromatic carboxylic acids. The entire side
chain is oxidized to the carboxyl group irrespective of length of side chain.

(14.) (b) The carboxylic carbon is less electrophilic than carbonyl carbon because of resonance. The possible
resonance structures are as follows:

(15.) (c) Aldehydes are more reactive towards nucleophilic addition reactions than ketones because of
inductive effect and steric effect. Greater the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl group,
greater the electron density on carbonyl carbon. Thus, it lowers the attack of nucleophile and hence,
reactivity decreases. Due to steric hindrance, the attack of nucleophile on carbonyl group becomes more
difficult.
(16.) (a) But-2-ene on ozonolysis gives two molecules of acetaldehyde

46
(17.) (a)
(18.) (d) The product formed by the reaction of an aldehyde with 1° amine is Schiff’s base.

(19.) (d) Alkaline KMnO4 does not act as a mild oxidising agent. It act as a strong oxidising agent whereas
Tollen’s reagent, Fehling’s reagent and Benedict’s reagent act as a mild oxidising agent.
(20.) (b) Molecular formula of A is C2 Cl3OH . As (a) reduces Fehling’s solution and on oxidation gives a
monocarboxylic acid (b), it means (a) must be an aldehyde ( CCl3CHO ). This is further confirmed by
the reaction
 
C2 H5OH + Cl2 ⎯⎯ → CH 3CHO ⎯⎯ → ( CCl3CHO )
OCl2

(21.) (c) The given reaction is Cannizzaro reaction. Aldehydes which do not have an α-H atom undergo self-
oxidation and reduction reaction on treatment with conc. alkali.

(22.) (b) In carboxylic group, the characteristic nucleophilic additions are not shown because of the resonance
in carboxylate ion which resists for addition of HCN and NaHSO3 as well as reactions involving
replacement of carboxylic oxygen by reagents.

in the carbon chain is indicated by Greek letters  ,  ,  , , etc.

reaction is haloform reaction.
(26.) (a) Benzoic acid on nitration gives m-nitrobenzoic acid.
(27.) (a) Methanal, ethanal and propanone are miscible with water in all proportions because they form
hydrogen bond with water.
(28.) (b) Aldehydes and ketones undergo electrophilic addition reactions. The carbonyl group being polar
behaves as an electrophile in the presence of nucleophile. Thus, the nucleophile readily attacks the
electrophilic carbon atom of carbonyl group and gives nucleophilic addition reactions.
(29.) (d) During reaction of carboxylic acids with NaHCO3, CO2 evolved comes from NaHCO3. Carboxylic
acid is a stronger acid than carbonic acid.
(30.) (d) As B forms a shining silver mirror on warming with ammoniacal silver nitrate, B must be an aldehyde
which can be obtained by the oxidation of alcohols. The complete series of

(38.) (d) Primary alcohols are readily oxidised to carboxylic acids with common oxidising agents such as
potassium permanganate (KMnO4) in neutral, acidic or alkaline media or by potassium dichromate
(K2Cr2O7) and chromium trioxide (CrO3) in acidic media.

62. (3) Formic acid cannot be prepared by Grignard reagent.

63. (3) An alkyl group attached to benzene ring can be oxidised only when it contains at least one a-
hydrogen atom. Thus here –CH3 group is oxidised and Me3C– group not. However, Me3C– group may
cause oxidation of the benzene ring to –COOH.
64. (4) In carboxylates (conjugate base of carboxylic acids), resonance is more significant because the two
resonating structures are similar, while in phenoxide, the resonating structures are not equivalent,
alkoxide ions do not show resonance.
65. (3) Electron withdrawing substituent (like halogen, —NO2, C6H5 etc.) would disperse the negative
charge and hence stabilise the carboxylate ion and thus increases acidity of the parent acid. On the other
hand, electron-releasing substituents would intensify the negative charge, destabilise the carboxylate ion
and thus decrease acidity of the parent acid. Electronegativity decreases in order
F > Cl > Br
and hence –I effect also decreases in the same order,
therefore the correct option is
[FCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH > BrCH2COOH > CH3COOH]
