MCQhard

Assertion: Etard reaction helps to stop the oxidation of toluene at the aldehyde stage. Reason: Chromyl chloride oxidises methyl group to a chromium complex, which on hydrolysis gives corresponding benzaldehyde.

Assertion Reasonmedium

Given below are two statements : Statement-I : The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses because of weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones due to dipole-dipole interactions. Statement-II : The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than the alcohols of similar molecular masses due to the absence of H⁻bonding. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
