Vedclass · Answer

(C) $1$. The compound $(A)$ gives a yellow precipitate with $I_2/NaOH$,indicating the presence of a methyl ketone group $(CH_3CO-)$.$2$. $(A)$ does not react with Tollens' reagent,meaning it does not contain a free aldehyde group.$3$. Upon hydrolysis,$(A)$ gives a positive Tollens' test,indicating the formation of an aldehyde group.$4$. Option $(C)$,$CH_3-CO-CH_2-CH(OCH_3)_2$,is an acetal. It contains a methyl ketone group,so it gives the iodoform test. It does not have a free aldehyde group,so it does not react with Tollens' reagent. Upon hydrolysis,the acetal group $-CH(OCH_3)_2$ converts to an aldehyde group $-CHO$,which gives a positive Tollens' test.

The reddish brown precipitate formed in the Fehling's test for aldehydes $(RCHO)$ is due to the formation of

$C_6H_5CHO + HCN \to C_6H_5-CH(OH)-CN$. The product would be

Assertion : The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons and ethers of comparable molecular masses.
Reason : There is a weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones arising out of the dipole-dipole interactions.
