ASSERTION AND REASON TYPE QUESTIONS

Note: In the following questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the
correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Assertion and reason both are correct'and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
(b) Assertion and reason both are wrong statements.
(c) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
(d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
(e) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation of assertion.
1.Assertion: Formaldehyde is a planar molecule.
Reason: It contains sp2 hybridised carbon atom.
2.Assertion: Compounds containing -CHO group are easily oxidised to corresponding carboxylic acids. Reason:
Carboxylic acids can be reduced to alcohols by treatment with LiAlH4.
3.Assertion: The α-hydrogen atom in carbonyl compounds is less acidic.
Reason: The anion formed after the loss of α-hydrogen atom is resonance stabilised.
4.Assertion: Aromatic aldehydes and formaldehyde undergo Cannizzaro reaction.
Reason: Aromatic aldehydes are almost as reactive as formaldehyde.
5.Assertion: Aldehydes and ketones, both react with Tollens’ reagent to form silver mirror.
Reason: Both, aldehydes and ketones contain a carbonyl group.

 HINTS FOR DIFFICULT MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
ASSERTION AND REASON
1. Reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
2. Correct explanation. Due to electron-withdrawing nature of C = O group, C—H bond in aldehydes is weak and thus
can be easily oxidised to the corresponding carboxylic acids even with mild oxidising agents like Fehlmg’s solution and
Tollens’ reagents.
3. Correct assertion. The α-hydrogen atom in carbonyl compounds is acidic.
4. Correct reason. Formaldehyde and aromatic aldehydes do not contain α-hydrogens.
5. Correct assertion. Aldehydes but not ketones react with Tollens’ reagent to form silver mirror.
Multiple Choice Questions -1
1. CH3CH2C = CH H+/H2O,Hg2+ CH3CH2—CO—CH3

3. Due to -I-effect of Cl, chloroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid. Further, due to stabilization of i phenoxide ion
by resonance and no such stabilization in case of ethoxide ion, phenol is a stronger acid j than ethanol. Thus, the
overall acid strength increases in the order: ethanol < phenol < acetic acid < chloroacetic acid, i.e., option (c) is
correct.
4. PhOH +

Phenol Benzoyl chloride Phenyl benzoate

5. Fehling’s solution does not react with ketones, i.e., acetone and aromatic aldehydes, i.e., benzaldehyde.
6. CH3CHO contains α-hydrogens and hence does not undergo Cannizzaro reaction while all others aldehydes do not
have α-hydrogens and hence undergo Cannizzaro reaction.

CH3—C = CH Tautomerization
8.
Propyne Prop-1-en-2-ol (A) Acetone
Prop-l-en-2-ol (A) and acetone are tautomers. Thus, option (d) is correct.
9. CH3CHO CH3—CH = CH2 Hydroboration-
oxidation

Ethanal Propan-2-ol (A) Propene (B)

CH3CH2CH2OH
Propan-l-ol (C)
Thus, CH3CHOFICH3 (A) and CH3CH2CH2OH (C) are position isomers, i.e., option (b) is correct.
10.

Hex-4-en-2-one Pent-3-en-l-oic acid
