NEET Chemistry Reactions of Carboxylic Acids MCQ Question
Which of the following statements regarding the reactions of carboxylic acids is correct?
Carboxylic acids can undergo esterification to form esters.
Carboxylic acids are stronger than mineral acids.
Carboxylic acids can be easily oxidized to aldehydes.
Carboxylic acids have pKa values greater than 5.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Carboxylic acids can undergo esterification reactions to produce esters, which is a common reaction. They are weaker than mineral acids, can be oxidized to produce carboxylic acids from aldehydes, and acids with pKa values greater than 5 are considered weak acids, not carboxylic acids in general.
