During hydrogenation of oils vegetable ghee is formed. In this process:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Esters of unsaturated fatty acids are reduced to those of saturated acids
Option C is correct because during hydrogenation of oils, the esters of unsaturated fatty acids are reduced to those of saturated acids, which leads to the formation of vegetable ghee.

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The esterification of carboxylic acid with an alcohol is a nucleophilic acyl substitution.
Statement II: Electron withdrawing groups in the carboxylic acid will increase the rate of esterification reaction.
Choose the most appropriate option:
Statement I: The esterification of carboxylic acid with an alcohol is a nucleophilic acyl substitution.
Statement II: Electron withdrawing groups in the carboxylic acid will increase the rate of esterification reaction.
Choose the most appropriate option:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. Esterification is indeed a nucleophilic acyl substitution, and electron-withdrawing groups increase the rate of esterification by stabilizing the transition state.
