प्रश्न
Two statements are given - one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Esterification is a process in which a sweet-smelling substance is produced.
Reason (R): When esters react with sodium hydroxide an alcohol and sodium salt of carboxylic acid are obtained.
विकल्प
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
उत्तर
Esterification is a process in which ethanoic acid reacts with absolute ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst to give sweet-smelling substance called esters.
\[\ce{CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH->[acid] CH3COOCH2 CH3 + H2O}\]
In this question, both the assertion and reason are correct but, the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Hence, the correct answer is Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
