Two statements are given below:
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:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
I. Better packing efficiency of monocarboxylic acids with even number of carbon atoms results in higher M.P
II. As molar mass increases hydrophobic part size increase hence solubility decreases.
