Answer 2

Answer:

Iodoform test is used to check the presence of carbonyl compound or alcohol compounds.

Explanation:

Alcohols have the structure R-CH(OH)-CH3 or Carbonyl compounds have the structure R-CO-CH3  in a given unknown substance and iodoform test is done on the basis of the structures.

Iodine is used in iodoform test in which reaction of iodine, a methyl ketone and a base gives gives a yellow precipitate along with an “antiseptic” smell.

There are four isomers of alcohols having molecular formula C6H14O giving positive iodoform test including 2 - Hexanol, 3 - Methyl-2 - Pentanol, 2 - Methyl-4-Pentanol and 3, 3 - Dimethyl-2-Butanol.
