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

Answer»

Propan-2-ol
Propan 1-ol
Ethoxygethane
Methoxyethane

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