Q. Statement 1 : The equilibrium constant for cyanohydrin formation is $\approx 10^{13}$ times greater for cyclohexanone than for cyclopentanone
Statement 2 : For a five-membered ring, reactions are more favourable when a ring $C$ changes from $s p^3$ to $s p^2$ because eclipsing interactions are removed

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Correct answer is (a) Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1
