Question

Match List-I with List-II :

	List I (Reagents Used)		List II (Compound with Functional group detected)
A	Alkaline solution of copper sulphate and sodium citrate	I
B	Neutral FeCl3 solution	II
C	Alkaline chloroform solution	III
D	Potassium iodide and sodium hypochlorite	IV

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
• B. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
• C. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A: Alkaline solution of copper sulphate and sodium citrate detects aldehydes. The aldehyde reacts to form a reddish-brown precipitate of Cu$_2$O.

B: Neutral FeCl$_3$ solution is used for detecting phenolic groups. Phenols give a characteristic color (violet or blue).

C: Alkaline chloroform solution (Haloform test) detects the presence of a methyl ketone or a methyl group adjacent to a hydroxyl group.

D: Potassium iodide and sodium hypochlorite (Iodoform test) confirms alcohol groups (-CH$_3$OH). \end{itemize}
