PYQ 2024
medium
chemistry ID: cbse-cla
Assertion (A): The pK of O N–CH –COOH is lower than that of CH –COOH. Reason (R): The –NO group shows an electron-withdrawing effect, which increases the acidic character of O N–CH –COOH.
1
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
2
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
3
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false
4
Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
