1.

When phenol is treated with CHCl₃ and NaOH, the product formed is 

• Benzaldehyde
• Salicylaldehyde
• Salicylic acid
• Benzoic acid

2.

Identify the product in the following reaction:

3.

Statement I: The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses because of weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones due to dipole - dipole interactions
Statement II: The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than the alcohols of similar molecular masses due to the absence of H-bonding.
In the light of the above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• 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.
