MCQ
$CH_3OH$ and $C_2H_5OH$ may be distinguished chemically
  • A
    By the action of $HCl$
  • By the action of $I_2 + Na_2CO_3$
  • C
    By the action of $NH_3$
  • D
    Solubility in water

Answer

Correct option: B.
By the action of $I_2 + Na_2CO_3$
b
Iodoform test can be used to distinguish the compund having alpha methyl group in it.

Methanol and Ethanol can be distinguished by Iodoform test ,As Ethanol have one methyl group present on its alpha position, while methanol have no alpha methyl group present

$CH _3 OH + I _2+ NaOH _{\text {Iodoform }}^{\stackrel{\text { warm }}{\longrightarrow} \text { (yellow) }}$ No reaction
