MCQ
The compound which reacts with Fehling solution is
- A${C_6}{H_5}COOH$
- ✓$HCOOH$
- C${C_6}{H_5}CHO$
- D$C{H_2}ClC{H_3}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$HCOOH$
b
Aliphatic aldehydes on treatment with Fehling's solution gives a reddishbrown precipitate while aromatic aldehydes, acids do not. but Formic acid has aldehydic $(- CHO )$ functional groups. Hence, it gives Fehling's test positive.
