REASONING
(1) Cl–CH2COOH is a stronger acid than CH3COOH. Why?
(2) Carboxylic acids do not give reactions of carbonyl group. Why?
(3) HCHO is more reactive than CH3–CHO towards addition of HCN. Why?
(4) pKa of NO2–CH2–COOH is lower than that of CH3–COOH. Why?
(5) The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than of the corresponding
acids. Why?
(6) What is Tollens’ reagent? Write one usefulness of this reagent.
(7) Write the composition of Fehling solution?
(8) Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards nucleophilic reagents.
(9) Aldehydes and Ketones have lower boiling points than corresponding alcohols.
Why?
DISTINGUISH

(2) Benzoic acid & Phenol (08) Propanal & Propanone
(3) Butanal & Butan-2-one (09) Pentan-2-one & Pentan-3-one
(4) Ethanal and Propanal (10) Benzaldehyde & benzophenone
(5) Propanal and butanone (11) Benzaldehyde & benzoic acid
(6) Out of CH3CH2–CO–CH2–CH3 and CH3CH2–CH2–CO–CH3, which gives iodoform
test?
