Consider the following reaction, {:(CHO""COO^(-)),("|"+OH^(-) rarr "|

1.	Consider the following reaction, {:(CHO""COO^(-)),("\|"+OH^(-) rarr "\|"),(CHO""CH_(2)OH):} Select the incorrect statement.
Answer» It is not a DISPROPORTIONATION reaction. It is intramolecular redox reaction. `OH^(-)` is a reducing as well as oxidising agent. `{:(CHO),("\|"),(CHO):}`is a reducing aswell as oxidising agent. Solution :One CHO is oxidised to `CO O^(-)` and oneCHO is REDUCED to `CH_(2)OH`. Thus, it is not a disproportionation reaction. It isintramolecular redox reaction. Thus, options (a) and (b) are TRUEAND `{:(CHO),("\|"),(CHO):}` isreducingas well as oxidising agent. Thus, (d) is also true.Thus, (c) isincorrect.
