MCQ
Methanol and ethanol are distinguished by the
  • A
    Action of  $HCl$
  • Iodoform test
  • C
    Solubility in water
  • D
    Sodium

Answer

Correct option: B.
Iodoform test
b
(b)${C_2}{H_5}OH$ gives iodoform test having $\alpha$-hydrogen atom while $C{H_3}OH$ does not give due to the absence of $\alpha$-hydrogen atom.
