Assertion : Aldol condensation is usual...

Assertion : Aldol condensation is usually carried out in dilute solution of a strong base.
Reason : Concentrated solution of strong base involved Cannizzaro reaction.

A

if both assertion and reson are true, and reason is the true explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.

C

if assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Correct reason: Only aldehydes which do not contain `alpha`-hydrogens on treatment with a concentrated solution of a base undergo cannizzaro reaction.

Aqueous solution of salt of strong base and weak acid

Why cannot the dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide be concentrated by strong heating?

The solution of a weak acid and a strong base is alkaline.

Assertion : Ionic hydrides like hydrolith liberates hydrogen gas on reaction with water. Reason : The resultant soution acts as strong base.

Assertion : Hydrochloric acid and Nitric acid are strong acids. Reason: Acids which ionize completely in aqueous solutions are strong acids.

Assertion: In laboratory, a solution of a desired concentration is prepared by diluting a stock solution. Reason : Stock solution is the solution of higher concentration.

When a salt of strong base and weak acid is hydrolysed, the resulting solution has :
