Both carbonyl compounds and acid derivatives though they contain grouping yet the reactions given by them are entirely different. As Aldehydes and Ketones give addition product with a nucleophile, while carboxylic acid derivatives give nucleophilic acyl substitution through addition/elimination mechanism.

Carboxylic acid decompose into carboxylate ion and H+ ion.1. Explain this on the basis of resonating structure of carboxylic acid.2. Arrange the following in the increasing order of acidity. HCOOH, CH3COOH3. Substantiate.

Answer»

1. Carboxylic acid decomposes to give proton and carboxylate ion and is stabilized by resonance. This explains the acidic character of carboxylic acid.

2. CH3COOH < HCOOH 

3. In acetic acid the electron donating effect (+l – effect) of -CH3 group destabilises the carboxylate anion and decreases the acid strength. Whereas in formic acid the H atom has not electron withdrawing or electron donating effect.

Assertion : The boiling points of given compounds follow the order : `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO ~~CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3) lt CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH ~~ H_(5)C_(2)OC_(2)H_(5)` Reason : Boiling point depends upon molecualr mass only.A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The correct order is :
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3) lt H_(5)C_(2)OC_(2)H_(5) lt CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO lt CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH`
Boiling point depends upon the nature of intermolecular forces, stronger the forces, higher is the boiling point.
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH` molecules are associated due to extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding,
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO` has stronger dipole-dipole attractions as compared to `H_(5)C_(2)OC_(2)H_(5) and CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)` molecules have only van der Waals forces.
