Assertion: Acetic acid does not undergo ...

Assertion: Acetic acid does not undergo haloform reaction.
Reason: Acetic acid has no alpha-hydrogen.

A

Statement `I` is true , Statement `II` is true , Statement `II` is the correct explanation of Statement `I`.

B

Statement `I` is true , Statement `II` is true , Statement `II` is not the correct explanation of Statement `I`.

C

Statement `I` is true , Statement `II` is false.

D

Statement `I` is false , Statement `II` is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Only aldehyde `(CH_3 - CHO)`, ketone
`(CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-)` and alcohol `(CH_(3)-underset(OH)underset(|)(CH)-)`. Groups undergo haloform reaction. `alpha-H` atoms are present in acetic acid. Hence, Statement `(I)` is true but Statement `(II)` is false.
