Explanation:
(i) Propanal (CH3CH2CHO) can be distinguished from propanone (CH3COCH3) by iodoform test. (ii) Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) and acetophenone (C6H5COCH3) can be distinguished by iodoform test. Acetophenone, being a methyl ketone on treatment with I2 /NaOH undergoes iodoform reaction to give a yellow ppt.
