Statement I : Compounds containing -CHO group are easily oxidised to corresponding carboxylic acids
Statement II : Carboxylic acids can be reduced to alcohols by treatment with
Statement II : Carboxylic acids can be reduced to alcohols by treatment with
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both Statement I and II are correct
The correct answer is A (Both statement I and II are correct) because aldehydes can be oxidized to carboxylic acids, and carboxylic acids can be reduced to alcohols using .

By passing water gas through an electric discharge at low pressure, we get:
Addition of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones takes place in presence of dry gas because it
(i) Protonates the oxygen of the carbonyl compounds
(ii) Increases the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon
(iii) Removes the excess moisture from the reaction
(iv) Helps the reaction to move in the forward direction Benzyl alcohol and sodium benzoate is obtained by the action of sodium hydroxide on benzaldehyde. This reaction is known as Which one of the following reactions is a condensation reaction? Carboxylic acids dimerise due to The number of aldehyde isomers for will be
