    Which one can differentiate between \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\] and \[C{{H}_{3}}OH\]?

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}O\]        

    B)  \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+{{I}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[HCl\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[C{{H}_{3}}OH\] and \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\] can be differentiated by using \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\] and \[{{I}_{2}}\]. \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\] gives yellow precipitate of \[CH{{I}_{3}}\] whereas \[C{{H}_{3}}OH\]does not react with it. \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH+4{{I}_{2}}+N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}\,\,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  lodoform \\  (yellow\text{ }ppt.) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,\] \[+\,5NaI+HCOONa+3C{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]
