Which one can differentiate between

{\mathrm{C}_2}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{OH}

and

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{OH}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{a}_2}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_3} + \mathrm{\;}{\mathrm{I}_2}

Option B (

{\mathrm{N}_2}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}_3} + \mathrm{\;}{\mathrm{I}_2}

) is correct because it can be used in the iodoform test, which differentiates between ethanol and methanol.
