    The reagent with which both acetaldehyde and acetone react is

    A)  Fehlings solution

    B)  \[{{I}_{2}}/NaOH\]

    C)  Tollens reagent 

    D)  carbonic acid

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Due to the presence of \[{{H}_{3}}C-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-\] group, acetaldehyde \[({{H}_{3}}C-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-H)\] and acetone \[({{H}_{3}}C-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}})\] react with iodine in sodium hydroxide to give yellow ppt of iodoform. \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+3{{I}_{2}}+3NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[C{{l}_{3}}CHO+3NaI+3{{H}_{2}}O\] \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{Iodofrom}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,+HCOONa\] \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}+3{{I}_{2}}+3NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[C{{l}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}+3NaI+3{{H}_{2}}O\] \[C{{l}_{3}}CO{{H}_{3}}+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{Iodofrom}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,+C{{H}_{3}}COONa\]
