Statement 1: Schiff's regent is a dilute solution of rosaniline hydrochloride in water whose magneta colour is discharged with aqueous `SO_(2)` or `H_(2)SO_(3)`.
Statement 2: Schiff's reagent oxidies benzaldehyde to benzoic acid.

A

a.Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.

B

b.Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.

C

c.Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.

D

d.Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Schiff's or Fehling's or Benedict's solutions are weak oxidising agents, hence they oxidise only aliphatic aldehydes, but benzaldehyde `(PhCHO)` is aromatic aldehyde. So, statement `1` is true but statement `2` is false.
