Q. Two isomeric compounds $Cl-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}Cl$ and $CH_{3}-CH_{2}-CHCl_{2}$ can be distinguished by the use of

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

Solution

This will give red colour with ceric ammonium nitrate

$\text{CH}_{3} - \text{CH}_{2} - \text{CHCl}_{2} \overset{\text{HOH} / \text{OH}^{-}}{ \rightarrow } \text{CH}_{3} - \text{CH}_{2} - \text{CHO}$

This will give silver mirror with Tollens reagent.
