Answer» SOLUTION :Since compound `D(C_(8)H_(10)O)` upon treatment with ALKALINE solution of `I_(2)` gives YELLOW ppt, THEREFORE, D may be either methyl ketone `(-underset(O) underset(||)(C)-CH_(3))` or methyl carbinol `(-underset(OH) underset(|)(CH)-CH_(3))` The molecular formula of suggests it to be 1-phenyl ethanol, `C_(6)H_(5) underset(OH) underset(|)(CH)CH_(3)` The reaction may be EXPLAINED as:
