Assertion: Both HCOOH (I) and CH3 COOH (...

Assertion: Both `HCOOH (I)` and `CH_3 COOH (II)` give precipitate with aqueous `AgNO_3` solution soluble in `HNO_3`.
Reason: `HCOOH` gives positive Tollens test.

A

If both `(A)` are `( R)` are true and `( R)` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.

B

If both `(A)` and `( R)` are true but `( R)` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.

C

If `(A)` is true but `( R)` is false.

D

If `(A)` is false but `( R)` is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Both form silver salt `(RCOO Ag)`, soluble in `HNO_3`. `HCOOH` gives positive Tollens test.
