Statement-1: Acetic acid does not undergo haloform test.
and
Statement-2: Acetic acid does not contain any `alpha`- hydrogen.

Options

A. a.Statement I and Statement II are true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.
B. b.Statement I and Statement II are true and Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.
C. c.Statement I is true and statement II is false.
D. d.Statement I is false and statement II is false

Answer

C

Explanation

Haloform reaction is given only by aldehydes (containing `(CH_(3)-CHO)` group), ketones (containing `(Me-CO-)` group), and alcohols (containing `(CH_(3)-CH(OH)-)` group), not by acids. So acetic acid does not give haloform reaction.
In acetic acid `(underset(alpha)(C )H_(3)-COOH)`, `alpha`-hydrogen atoms are present. Hence, statement `I` is correct but statement `II` is incorrect. So the answer is `(c ).
