Which of the following is correct?a)On reduction any aldehyde gives se...
Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced to primary and secondary alcohols, respectively, using reducing agents such as NaBH4 or LiAlH4. However, the statement "any aldehyde gives secondary alcohol on reduction" is incorrect.
Reaction of Vegetable Oil with H2SO4
Vegetable oils are triglycerides, which can be hydrolyzed using an acid catalyst such as H2SO4 to produce glycerol and fatty acids. Therefore, the statement "reaction of vegetable oil with H2SO4 gives glycerine" is correct.
Iodoform Test
The iodoform test is used to detect the presence of a methyl ketone or a compound containing a CH3-CO- group. In this test, ethanol (C2H5OH) and iodine (I2) are added to the compound in the presence of a strong base such as NaOH. If the compound contains a methyl ketone or a CH3-CO- group, it will react with the reagents to produce iodoform (CHI3) and a carboxylic acid or a salt of the acid. Therefore, the statement "C2H5OH, iodine with NaOH gives iodoform" is correct.
Hydrolysis of Sucrose
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. When sucrose is hydrolyzed using NaCl, it undergoes inversion to form glucose and fructose, which are both reducing sugars. Therefore, the statement "sucrose on reaction with NaCl gives invert sugar" is correct.
In conclusion, option 'C' is the correct answer.
