Question

Assertion :Statement 1: Acetaldehyde responds positively with all the tests of carbonyl compounds like Tollen's test, Fehling test, 2,4- DNP test, as well as Iodoform test. Reason: Statement 2: All aldehydes respond all the four tests given in Statement 1.

• A. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.
• B. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.

• D. Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

Statement 1: True, $C{H}_{3}CHO$ gives positive test with tollen's reagent, fehling solution, 2,4-DNP, as well as iodoform test.

Statement 2: False, all aldehydes do not give iodoform test.
