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 :
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 :
Show Hint
- Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
- Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
- Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
- Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Statement II: The lower acids are miscible with water through hydrogen bonding, but as the non-polar alkyl chain grows the hydrophobic part dominates and solubility decreases with increasing molar mass. Correct.
Both statements are correct.
Answer: (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

Top JEE Main Questions
- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
