The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will break down each statement and evaluate its validity step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1:** Fehling solution oxidizes acetaldehyde to acetic acid but not benzaldehyde to benzoic acid. - **Explanation:** Fehling's solution is a chemical reagent used to test for the presence of aldehydes. It contains copper(II) ions, which are reduced to copper(I) oxide in the presence of aldehydes. Acetaldehyde (an aliphatic aldehyde) can be oxidized by Fehling's solution to form acetic acid. However, benzaldehyde (an aromatic aldehyde) does not react with Fehling's solution because the aromatic ring stabilizes the aldehyde, making it less reactive towards oxidation. Therefore, this statement is **true**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2 **Statement 2:** The C-H bond of the CHO group in benzaldehyde is stronger than in acetaldehyde. - **Explanation:** The strength of the C-H bond in the aldehyde functional group (CHO) can be influenced by the surrounding groups. In benzaldehyde, the presence of the aromatic ring exerts a resonance effect, which can stabilize the carbonyl group (C=O) but also makes the C-H bond stronger due to the partial double bond character. In contrast, acetaldehyde, being aliphatic, has a weaker C-H bond compared to benzaldehyde. Thus, this statement is also **true**. ### Conclusion - **Final Evaluation:** - Statement 1 is **true**. - Statement 2 is **true**. However, based on the video transcript, it suggests that Statement 2 is false, which contradicts our analysis. The reasoning provided in the transcript about the strength of the C-H bond in benzaldehyde being stronger than in acetaldehyde is indeed correct. ### Final Answer: - Statement 1: True - Statement 2: True
