Question

Mark out the correct statement for the following conversion

Reaction is usually catalysed by acid or base –

• A. If X = CH₃ and Y = H, the equilibrium constant, K_c> 1
• B. If X = H and Y = H, K_c = 1 and hydrate is isolable.
• C. If X = CCl₃ and Y = H, K_c> 1 and hydrate is not isolable
• D. If X = CCl₃ and Y = H, K_c> 1 and hydrate is isolable

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

If X = CCl₃ and Y = H, K_c> 1 and hydrate is isolable

Answer 2

Chloral hydrate is highly stable and found in solid state.
