Question

Two isomeric compounds Cl-CH2-CH2-CH2Cl and CH3-CH2-CHCl2 can be distinguished by the use of (A)  textHOH / textOH- (B) Tollens reagent (C) Both textHOH / textOH- and Tollens reagent (D)  textHOH / textOH- , Tollens reagent and ceric ammonium nitrate

<img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-dcy5ezlezo5x.png" /> This will give red colour with ceric ammonium nitrate textCH3 - textCH2 - textCHCl2 overset textHOH / textOH- arrow textCH3 - textCH2 - textCHO This will give silver mirror with Tollens reagent.

Q. Two isomeric compounds $Cl - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} Cl$ and $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H C l_{2}$ can be distinguished by the use of

$HOH / OH^{-}$

Tollens reagent

Both $HOH / OH^{-}$ and Tollens reagent

$HOH / OH^{-}$ , Tollens reagent and ceric ammonium nitrate

This will give red colour with ceric ammonium nitrate

$CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CHCl_{2} \to HOH / OH^{-} CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CHO$

This will give silver mirror with Tollens reagent.

Q. Two isomeric compounds Cl−CH2​−CH2​−CH2​Cl and CH3​−CH2​−CHCl2​ can be distinguished by the use of

HOH/OH−

Tollens reagent

Both HOH/OH− and Tollens reagent

HOH/OH− , Tollens reagent and ceric ammonium nitrate

This will give red colour with ceric ammonium nitrate CH3​−CH2​−CHCl2​→HOH/OH−CH3​−CH2​−CHO This will give silver mirror with Tollens reagent.
