Q46.Two statements are given belwo : 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 : (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. (2) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. (3) Statement I is correct but Statement II is (4) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is incorrect. correct.

What This Question Tests
