Assertion: Lower aldehydes and ketonses are solutble in water but the solubility decreases as the molecular mass increase. Reason : Distinction between aldehydes and letones.A. If Both assertion and reason are true reason is the correct explation of the assertion.B. If Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explation of the assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Lower aldehydes and ketone are soluble in water due to polar effect of `gtC = O` which makes hydrogen bonds with water molecules. As the size of the aldehydes and ketones increase the hydrophobic part, i.e., alkyl Chain increases which weaknes the `H-bond` foemations with `H_(2)O` molecles and decreases the solubility.
