1.

Give reasons:CH3CHO is more reactive than CH3COCH3 towards HCN.4-Nitrobenzoic acid is more acidic than benzoic acid.

Answer»
  1. There is more positive charge on carbonyl carbon in case of CH3CHO but in acetone due to +I-effect of two methyl group carbonyl carbon has less positive charge so less reactive towards HCN.
  2. Due to -I effect of nitro group, benzoate ion will be more stabilised so 4-nitrobenzoic acid is more acidic than benzoic acid.
