    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. \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH+4{{I}_{2}}+N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Iodoform} \\  \text{(yellow}\,\text{ppt}\text{.)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,\] \[+\,5NaI+HCOONa+3C{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]
