A) Acidity increases with increase in carbon atoms in carboxylic acids
B) Solubility of carboxylic adds increases with increase in carbon atoms
C) Boiling points of acids are higher than corresponding alcohols
D) None of the above
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
(i) Acidity decreases with increase in number of carbon atoms in carboxylic acid. (ii) Solubility of carboxylic acid decrease with increase in number of carbon atoms. Higher acids are insoluble in\[{{H}_{2}}O.\] (iii) Boiling points of acids are higher than corresponding alcohols due to greater extent of hydrogen bonding. \[\therefore \] (c) is correct answer.
