Q. Bottels 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?

Solution:

In test tube $A.$ Solution
In test tube $B$ .
$C_{6}H_{5}CH_{2}I \rightarrow _{- C_{6} H_{5} CH_{2} OH}^{NaOH , boil}$ $NaI$ $ \rightarrow _{\left(\right. ii \left.\right) \left(AgNO\right)_{3}}^{\left(\right. i \left.\right) Dil \left(HNO\right)_{3}}$ $AgI$ (yellow ppt.)
