Na will react with both Na and COOH okay so
when it reacts with 1 OH it will give charge of -1 and then another OH it will become -2 and then with COOH it will be -3 as the question says
and NaOH will only react with COOH
so it will give -1 with one COOH thats it
but for A there are 3 OH groups and 1 COOH
oh okaayy silly me :/
Thank youuu soo much ^_^
may Allah bless yu :D

3rd statement is a fact.
secondary alcohol ( alcohol where OH group is attatched to the carbon atom, which is bonded to 2 other carbon atom) is oxidized to ketone

I know that. But I just cant see it happening there in the equation given.

Which substance, in 1 mol dm–3 aqueous solution, would have the same hydrogen ion
concentration as 1 moldm3 of hydrochloric acid?
A ethanoic acid
B nitric acid
C sodium hydroxide
D sulphuric acid

Answer is B. But the question is....WHY?

Cause Hcl and nitric acid are both strong acids which dissociate completely in water to give one mole if hydrogen ions

it is clearly an alcohol and a tertiary one as it is mentioned DOES NOT
Try making a tertiary alcohol WITH chiral center
so the center carbon can not be bonded to 2 CH3
the central carbon is bonded to OH,CH3,CH2CH3 and CH2CH2CH3
But that makes a total of 7 carbons
