Which one of the following statements is wrong?
A
$$CH_3OH$$ is highly poisonous purposes
B
$$CH_3OH$$ is most acidic alcohol
C
$$CH_3OH$$ is used for drinking purpose
D
$$CH_3OH$$ is soluble in water
Correct option is A. $$CH_3OH$$ is used for drinking purpose
The correct option is (A).
Explanation:
Methanol can not be used for drinking purposes as it is highly poisonous compound.Due to presence of less carbon atoms in methanol, the +I effect will be comparatively less. Hence, it is more acidic
It can form hydrogen bond with water and thus it is soluble in water.
