Given below are two statements: Consider the following reaction: $R_2C=O + H_2O \rightleftharpoons R_2C(OH)_2$.
Statement $I$: In the case of formaldehyde $(HCHO)$,$K_{eq}$ is about $2280$,due to small substituents,hydration is faster.
Statement $II$: In the case of trichloroacetaldehyde $(CCl_3CHO)$,$K_{eq}$ is about $2000$ due to the $-I$ effect of $-Cl$ atoms.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
