Bottles containing

{C}_6 {H}_5 {I}

and

{C}_6 {H}_5 {CH}_2 {I}

lost their original labels. They were labelled

A

and

B

for testing.

A

and

B

were separately taken in test tubes and boiled with

{NaOH}

solution. The end solution in each tube was made acidic with dilute

{HNO}_3

and then some

{AgNO}_3

solution was added. Substance

{B}

gave a yellow precipitate. Which one of the following statements is true for this experiment ?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

A

was

{C}_6 {H}_5 {I}

Option D (

A

was

{C}_6 {H}_5 {I}

) is correct because phenyl iodide will react with NaOH to produce iodide ions, which will then precipitate with silver nitrate as yellow AgI.
