Statement-1 is true but statement 2 is false.
Explanation:
- Haloform test is defined as a test given by some compounds where the halogen in presence of base reacts with a compound to form corresponding haloform.
- The reactant must be a alpha methyl ketone, or aldehyde, or a alpha hydroxy alcohol.
- In acetic acid there are three alpha hydrogen.
- But for the haloform reaction to occur, the reagents need a carbon oxygen double bond.
- But in acetic acid, due to resonance, the carbon oxygen bond has a bond order of 1.5
- So the reaction cannot occur.
