JEE Main 2022 Chemistry question
Two statements are given below: Statement I: The melting point of monocarboxylic acid with even number of carbon atoms is higher than that of with odd number of carbon atoms acid immediately below and above it in the series. Statement II: The solubility of monocarboxylic acids in water decreases with increase in molar mass. Choose the most appropriate option:
Answer: (1)
Solution
Even-carbon monocarboxylic acids pack better in the solid state and so have higher melting points than the odd-carbon acids next to them (Statement I
