Statement I: Acetic acid does not undergo haloform reaction. Statement II: Acetic acid has no alpha hydrogen.

Answer»

a.STATEMENT I and Statement II are true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.
b.Statement I and Statement II are true and Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.
c.Statement I is true and statement II is false.
d.Statement I is false and statement II is false

Solution :Haloform reaction is given only by aldehydes (containing `(CH_(3)-CHO)` group), ketones (containing `(Me-CO-)` group), and ALCOHOLS (containing `(CH_(3)-CH(OH)-)` group), not by acids. So acetic acid does not give haloform reaction.
In acetic acid `(underset(alpha)(C )H_(3)-COOH)`, `alpha`-hydrogen atoms are present. Hence, statement `I` is correct but statement `II` is incorrect. So the answer is `(c ).
