One mole of an organic compound A with the formula C_(3)H_(8)O reacts completely with two moles of HI to from X and Y. When Y is boiled with aqueous alkali it forms Z.Z answers the iodoform test. The compound A is

Answer»

A) propan-2-ol
B) propane-1-ol
C) ethoxyethane
D) methoxyethane

Solution :If A reacts with HI, it could be ether
`CH_(3)-underset((A))(O)-C_(2)H_(5)underset("(excess)")overset(HI)(to)underset((X))CH_(3)I+C_(2)H_(5)I+H_(2)O`
`underset((Y))(C_(2)H_(5)I)overset("aq. KOH")(to)underset((Z))(C_(2)H_(5)OH)`
`C_(2)H_(5)OH` gives IODOFORM test .
