To solve the problem, we need to identify the two functional isomers of the compound with the molecular formula \( C_3H_6O \). We know that one of the isomers forms a yellow precipitate of iodoform when treated with iodine and sodium hydroxide, while the other does not. ### Step 1: Identify the functional isomers of \( C_3H_6O \) The molecular formula \( C_3H_6O \) indicates that we have three carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. The possible functional isomers include: 1. **Acetone (2-propanone)**: \( CH_3COCH_3 \) - a ketone 2. **Acetaldehyde (ethanal)**: \( CH_3CHO \) - an aldehyde ...
