Question
Higher carboxylic acid are wax like solid and are practically odourless.Statement-II : Carboxylic acids are higher boiling point liquids than aldehyde, ketone, this is due to extensive association of carboxylic acid molecules through intra-molecular hydrogen bonding.A Statement-I and II both are correct B Statement-I is incorrect but statement-II is correct C Statement-I is correct but statement-II is false D Both statement-I and II are incorrect
Solution
The statement says that higher carboxylic acids are wax-like solids and are practically odorless. This is statement-I.
The statement also says that carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than aldehydes and ketones. This is statement-II.
According to statement-II, the reason for the higher boiling points of carboxylic acids is the extensive association of carboxylic acid molecules through intra-molecular hydrogen bonding.
To determine the correctness of the statements, we need to evaluate each statement individually.
Statement-I: Higher carboxylic acids being wax-like solids and odorless is generally true.
Statement-II: Carboxylic acids having higher boiling points than aldehydes and ketones due to extensive association through intra-molecular hydrogen bonding is also generally true.
Therefore, both statement-I and statement-II are correct.
So, the correct answer is option A: Statement-I and II both are correct.
