[amp_mcq option1=”I and II” option2=”I and III” option3=”II and III” option4=”II and IV” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is $\\boxed{\\text{(B) I and III}}$.<\/p>\n
A carboxylic acid exhibits stereoisomerism if it has at least one chiral carbon atom. A chiral carbon atom is a carbon atom that is bonded to four different groups. The carboxylic acids in options I and III have a chiral carbon atom, while the carboxylic acids in options II and IV do not.<\/p>\n
When a carboxylic acid is heated, it can form a cyclic anhydride. A cyclic anhydride is a ring-shaped molecule that is formed by the condensation of two carboxylic acids. The carboxylic acids in options I and III can form cyclic anhydrides, while the carboxylic acids in options II and IV cannot.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the only carboxylic acids that exhibit stereoisomerism and also form cyclic anhydrides on heating are the carboxylic acids in options I and III.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
